What about V.C. Andrews’ Flowers in the Attic? The librarian at my school assumed the girls just liked horror books as that cover was creepy as all get out.

Oh my gosh YES!!! I read THE ENTIRE series in 8th grade. I can’t believe it didn’t even mention it. 😩. Thanks for reminding me!

I started reading "The Third Gilmore Girl" but didn't get through it before I had to return to the library. I just got it and I'm only 20% through it. I had no idea about her dancing background and holy cow, The Chorus Line? Crazy story there.

I was the only bookish person among my friends so there was no passing books back and forth. I just read and wondered. :/ There has been no "normal" sex conversations for me with friends and has never been brought up. Menopause symptoms are more likely the reason we hint at sex but never about intimacy.

I still need to listen to your episode with Arielle and sooo curious how she recommends broaching the subject.
