This represented an interesting project for a girl who’s mother placed vocab restrictions on this particular part of the anatomy. One has ‘breasts’ or ‘bosoms’, never ‘boobs’ or heaven forbid, ‘tits’. However, even with these preordained prudencies this proved to be an engaging collection that was by turns entertaining, enlightening and even uplifting. From tales of magical bra-fitters who can grant a woman’s secret desires for a cup size at the other end of the spectrum, to Sarah Darmody’s brave account of her decision to have a double mastectomy to hopefully escape a genetic propensity for breast cancer.

With an eclectic variety of authors including Kate Holden, Marieke Hardy, Maggie Alderson and a somewhat left of field but engagingly candid Jools Oliver (aka Mrs Naked Chef). There are so many worthy products and items that bear the pink ribbon symbol of the National Breast Cancer Foundation but few will provide as much genuine entertainment as this book which will only be added to by knowing all royalties go directly to the NBCF.
