She was talking about the influence of porn, especially on young boys, and how it does have an effect on them. This book sounds so uncomfortable and wrenching and... necessary.

And, yeah, throughout the book wanted to wrap Layla in bubblewrap pretty much to keep her safe.<br /><br />I wonder if you reached out to the author on Twitter, she could be very nice and send you a copy (or IM me your address and I'll send it). This is a book I want to pass on to as many people as possible!

This sounds like it touches on themes/might be a much more intense and in depth version of a book I read earlier this summer, <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/05/thousandwords.html" rel="nofollow">A Thousand Words</a>.<br /><br />Thanks so much for posting this review. I need to get ahold of this book sometime to read--although argh, of course it's an Aussie book. <br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005037379064329761.post-38814871967120682362013-08-22T10:48:38.009+10:002013-08-22T10:48:38.009+10:00Must read this!
