How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

I should've taken into account the dripping peach on the front cover, because it talks about sex.. a lot. If you aren't into a lot of sex talk I don't recommend this book. Nichole Perkins talks about different events that occur in her life and how they impact her. overall it's pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meaningful Essays about sexuality, pop culture, and lived experiences as a BW

This collection of short essays includes reflections on the author's relationship with her family, body, and her love for pleasure. The book is also a bit of a love letter to the musical artist Prince. Through storytelling, Nichole shares about exploratory stages, affirmation from music, and self-acceptance. Each essay ends with revelatory sentences that make me pause before I flip to the next page. This is such a fun and bold read with surprising chapters that melt my heart. I'm glad I read this book despite my fear of the title.

This book was weirdly relatable lol. There were many essays in this book that made me feel like she knew me personally because our stories align so much. One of my favorite books so far

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written!

I heard an interview with Ms. Perkins on NPR during a road trip this summer and enjoyed the excerpt that she read, when I heard the title of the book there was no way I could not read it. This is a wonderfully written collection of essays and it mirrors, at times, my own life experiences, making it all the more satisfying to read. This book adds to the voices of sexually empowered feminists and its revelations vindicate some of my own contemplations on our hyper masculine culture.
