Everything that girls (and their mothers) need to know about puberty.

Puberty is one of the most defining phases in a girl’s life. Many women don’t like to recall this turbulent time in which their bodies underwent radical changes, and their moods switched from on top of the world to the depths of despair in an instant. What is new, however, is that girls today are exposed to an unprecedented flood of influences through social media, which ensures even more uncertainty than the hormonal upheaval brings about. It’s time for Girl on Fire, a different type of sex education book. Dr Sheila de Liz – better known on TikTok as Doctor Sex – uses humour, sensitivity and courage to tackle difficult topics geared towards her target readership, explaining what girls need to know (and often don’t dare to ask).
