How much more fun in life could I have had if I'd just stopped worrying so much and stopped beating myself up? In this book, Cherry reveals the things she wishes her mother had told her, through a series of hilarious anecdotes and excruciating confessions. Each chapter opens with a letter to a different body part: "Letters to my Fanny" covers sex, orgasms, and periods; "Letters to my Brain" covers education, memory, and media; "Letters to my Tummy" covers crop-tops, pregnancy, and sit-ups. This wonderfully warm, funny, and candid book is a collection of hopeful dispatches from the frontline of girlhood—an impassioned plea to stop piling pressure on girls and young women and allow them to get on with their lives without having to mind the thigh gap.
