Letters to my Fanny

How much more fun in life could I have had if I''d just stopped worrying so much and stopped beating myself up?

In this book, Cherry reveals the things she wishes her mother had told her, through a series of hilarious anecdotes and excruciating confessions.

Each chapter opens with a letter to a different body part: ''Letters to my Fanny'' covers sex, orgasms and periods; ''Letters to my Brain'' covers education, memory and media; ''Letters to my Tummy'' covers crop-tops, pregnancy and sit-ups.

This wonderfully warm, funny and candid book is a collection of hopeful dispatches from the frontline of girlhood - an impassioned plea to stop piling pressure on girls and young women and allow them to get on with their lives without having to mind the thigh gap . . .
