Reviews:
"Say More is a brilliant overview of all things consent. It gives teens spot-on, realistic advice about how we might navigate all our relationships more consensually, and about how to handle things when we, inevitably, don't manage it at times. Kitty Stryker is just the friendly mentor required to guide us through this complex territory with clarity, steadiness, and a whole lot of relatable experience." — Dr. Meg-John Barker co-author of How To Understand Your Sexuality and Sexuality: A Graphic Guide
"Although aimed at teens, I recommend Say More to everyone. Kitty Stryker has written a brilliant, illuminating torch of a book; the more people who read and use it, the brighter and clearer all our interactions can be." — Alix Fox, sexual culture writer and script consultant to Netflix's Sex Education
