This quick, concise guide is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about how consent works and those who teach consent. Erin breaks things down into simple steps for all kinds of interactions, including those with family.

She pulls in other experts in the field for quotes and comments which add a lot of nuance.
This is such an important and digestible book! Erin Tillman, a skilled and experienced dating coach, shares her own knowledge as well as thoughts from a range of fellow experts. The messages are so practical and go far beyond sexual consent, which is hugely important. While it holds takeaways for any age group, "The Consent Guidebook" should be made available to college students everywhere.
If you know your way around consent, the beginning might feel slow, because it's definitions (but even there it's good to check your assumptions, own beliefs, etc.), but then it picks up and it was a very nice read, gave me a lot of practical ideas.
