Doris and Jemma share the spotlight in this jaunty tale. But let's face it, Doris is the star and Miss March has really put an interesting message out there. But I think the biggest message here, for us as adults, is not in the story but in who tells it. I have been giggling and having fun sharing this review which I wrote from the perspective of my own personal Doris, whose name is Helen! Enjoy! This is a guest review.------------------------Helen here!! Just wanting to let you know that occasionally need to step in and give a review from the properspective.. SO.. this is about Doris! She may be a bit disgruntled, but you would be too when you speak out thinking everyone would be totally down with having some insight to just what we as genitals think! But I guess some folks are still afraid of us! I don’t get it, we are the ones doing most of the work here. If it was not for us, you could not get your … groove on. I have to say Miss March really did Doris and Jemma proud and I for one am glad for this new story, this fight for our right to be safe, clean and for everyone to have the happy-ever-afters. It also proved my theory, most of us have matching personalities to a certain extent. Take Doris for instance. Jemma may have believed she was going to be a spinster at the age of thirty but Doris knew she had it in her to be her own woman, because Doris is a lot like Jemma, outgoing, but unlike Jemma she had not been exposed and exploited by pop-culture and marketing. Perhaps also the PTWD (Post Traumatic Wax Disorder) has something to do with it.  and in the end it turned out she was right.Now, don’t get me wrong, I am all for equal voices. All genitals should have a say, but penis‘ have always had one up on us because as Miss March has exposed, many men think with their little heads when it comes to women and vaginas don’t have a say. Sounds kind of familiar huh Kriss? Gee I have told you that for years! Thank goodness you found that Hus of yours! (Oh and thank you for finding your coffee*, it really does make me happy!)Anyway, thanks for speaking for those who have had no voice for so long. For bringing to light the injustice done because of our lack of ability to communicate to the majority of our girls upstairs, and thanks Jemma for being the spokesperson and listening to Doris. Oh and Doris? I don’t think you will be disgruntled for much longer, Henry sounds like he is pretty fabulous!<3 Helen------*I have a coffee brew which I call Happy V-- Coffee, and now it is confirmed, it really does make Helen happy!Note from Kriss*SMH*, this was awesome. I remember when Dionne sent me a snippet and said “You think I should scrap this or keep going?” Oh dear, Dionne, she who freaks out at the thought of toes? Keep going, expand your wings my dear, surprise us all! And boy did she. I for one am honored to have a book which uses the story device of talking genitals to tell the tale. It is a very funny one, but there are some messages too, I would expect nothing less from someone of Miss Lister’s caliber.She has surprised me, from her Dark shorts and flash fiction, to her middle school/YA fantasy with talking dragons to chick lit comedy, Dionne Lister has proven herself as one of the rising stars of the indie scene.Viva la Vadgeventures!Psssssssssst Doris? Don’t worry, I have had five kids and my vagina is the same as it was before hand, that is a myth. Just keep squeezing and all will be fine! Helen has had no complaints yet! After all… five kids and … well someone has a smile on his face right now! *grin*
