About this listen

Conversations we never had about sex, body image, work and relationships.

A vulnerable exploration of modern womanhood that weaves deeply personal stories with opinions and advice on sex, friendship, family, career and beyond.

This part-memoir, part feminist-manifesto meets women where they are and as they are. Hannah exposes and celebrates the messy, honest and insular parts of ourselves in a book designed to feel like a late-night conversation with your best friend—one that will make you laugh, cry and that you'll never want to end.

This was such a great listen. An author narrating their own book is always superior. Every chapter was super engaging. My favourite part was the final chapter on friendship and it’s importance. I will be recommending this book to everyone and I look forward to whatever Hannah puts out next.

Well structured text, with a clear flow to Hannah's writing. While you may not agree with everything, if you're looking for something to check yourself and your ideals, this is a great start. This has led to some great conversations with the people around me, and in my dating life.

Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with strangers - this is a game changer 💙

At times it felt like Hannah had seen into my life, my very thoughts, and put it to paper. I found myself cheering and seething in equal measure. What I wish for the women in my life, is the literacy and the time to access this book. I’ll try to make that happen.

A must-read for anyone raised when all this stuff was not allowed to be discussed. And handy for the kids and young adults to have it all in one place. Hannah is a legend.
