This book is not only funny but very insightful. It opened several doors of communication between my sixteen year old daughter and myself. I am able to get needed information about the boy she is dating while sharing a few laughs at the same time.
I have given this test to a couple of boys now, she is actually making better and more concious choices of the boys she is choosing date. She now looks at boys wandering if they would pass the test or not.
I love this book and would recommend it to any parent that has a teenager in the dating scene.

I think the beauty of this book is it addresses what can be an awkward (yet normal) part of life in such a way as to take some of the sting out. Thinking of your children as sexual creatures makes most of us go "ACKKK!" but we had better address it reasonably or we *won't* know what's going on, and that is bad news. This book offers a way to ease into that discussion with our daughters, and humor is such an integral part of our family dialogue anyway, this will make it much easier! I plan to get a copy for each of my girls! What an excellent (and funny!) resource!
