An unflinching examination of the damaging sexual narratives often
hidden or less talked about, Rough looks at the way culture
and gender perceptions influence our behaviour in bed. Thompson's
writing is burning and unapologetic, and contracts with sharpness
and verve. An important, thought-provoking read which renders
systems and personal attitudes, and starts a helpful dialogue (in a
hope to) to kindle positive change. * Nataliya Deleva *
Rough speaks to how many women often feel after sexual
encounters - violated but unsure of exactly why, and whether our
feelings are valid. This book is excellent and demonstrates just
how valid those feelings are. * Adele Walton, founder of
Humanitarian Hotgirl *
An incredible investigation into a frighteningly common part of our
sexual experience; determined to give ownership back to those who
have had their agency stolen from them. * Dr Fern Riddell *
