This short book establishes an excellent overview on consent - what it is, why we need it, how to practice it, and even what to do if we are violated or have violated another person.

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. Using a lighthearted tone leads to an enjoyable read on a subject that can in less skilled hands feel really awkward & preachy. She pulls in other experts in the field for quotes and comments which add a lot of nuance.
Well, this was a mistake.
I made the library buy a copy of this book because I was curious but this is what every arm chair advice columnist with a computer can type out (complete with grammatical errors).
This book is just a few sentences on unrealistic, unenjoyable, uninformed, and certainly unnuanced consent. This book sets consent back.

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.
