Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
A very easy to follow guide on the multiple ways a woman can reach an orgasim. It includes pictures and has step by step instructions. Informative and engaging. Enjoyed it.

What a great little book! A definitive resource on the ultimate happy ending! It is full of great little tidbits of information about anatomy, position, as well as varieties of culminating activities. If you can't answer the title with a resounding Yes!, then check it out.

This book was a pleasant surprise! I read it one day. I loved that it was gender/queer inclusive. It coved a range of types of orgasms, sex toys, and positions. The book also covered anorgasmia and sexual pain- topics that I believe are not discussed frequently enough! The author also included communication skills with your partner. I definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book but I am curious and not one to shy away from what may consider taboo subjects. Women need to not be shamed by feelings about sex and their bodies. This was a fun book to read.

I have read "Are you coming" in a day and loved it. I feel that the book delivers on what it says it will. There is a lot of detailed information on the basics (biologyl class), on different types of orgasams, what can help with achieving one, what can cause sex to be painful, how to focus on communicating and then there are illustations to help with choosing your next position.

I would highly recommend reading to anyone who has a vulva and wants to learn more about how to achieve an orgasm. 

Thank you Laura Hiddinga and the Experiment for letting me review the book before it's published.

This book may be pretty educational to younger women. Unfortunately, I am older & I am already knowledgeable about the insight given. A good book and great writing style.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Very basic. A good guide for virgins. Very repetitive. Didn't really provide any new insights, except the concept of zone orgasms and the connection between the cervix and the throat. Disliked the quotes, especially the celebrity and sex in the city quotes. Would've like more science. Okay illustrations.

Are You Coming? by Laura Hiddinga is a fantastic primer for anyone wanting to know more about the ins and outs of the vaginal and clitoral orgasm. Covering everything from basic anatomy to the various types of orgasms and how to have them (and how to have even better ones), this book offers professional and personal advice that you will want to come back to time and time again. With topics ranging from solo excursions to talking with your partner and all the problems you main run into along the way, Are You Coming? is a well-rounded book that deals with both the mental and physical aspects of the orgasm. Easy to read and easy to follow, Hiddinga breaks down all medical terms and explains things with the words and lingo everyone already knows. This book is also inclusive, which is great to see. Instead of just discussing the female orgasm, Are You Coming? respects the differing experiences between, for example, someone assigned female at birth and a trans woman, or a straight couple and a queer couple. The book not only acknowledges that these differences exist, but also provides specific positions or toys that might be beneficial to those not AFAB or in a lesbian relationship. The goal is more people having more happy endings, and Are You Coming? has something for everyone explained in ways everyone can understand.

I loved how this book was inclusive for all body types and genders. Literally, encompasses everything you need and want to know. Really well done.

An inclusive and entertaining take on sex education for the modern age. I love that at the start the author explains the basics of pronouns and how they will be used in this book.

Although in one diagram the uterus is labelled as the urethra I assume this will be fixed before publication.

I was given a NetGalley ARC in exchange for a review.

Right off the bat, this book hooked me in. If the title and cover weren’t interesting enough, the first few pages on why women need this book in their lives really hit home for me.
The author included some percentages and research that were really eye opening!
I appreciate that this book is informative without being obscene. There are some diagrams that are tastefully drawn and helpful in aiding the text in the book. I also like that there are quotes and little orange boxes with added information throughout the chapters. It breaks up the informational part of the book and gives you a second the collect your thoughts on what you just read.
This book is laid out pretty well. It explains anatomy, orgasms and the types, and tips for communicating with a partner in the bedroom, about problems and positions. I really feel like it covers a lot of topics and issues surrounding women and sex! I love that this book is informative and also inclusive of women assigned female at birth, as well as trans women.
I read a review on this book that asked the question, “why don’t all women have this book in their repertoire?” and I wondered the same!

Thank you so much to The Experiment for sharing a copy of Are You Coming? by Laura Hiddinga for review,

I loved this guide to orgasms and their many forms. I did not know there were that many types or how I would go about having one if I so desired. I really liked that with the scientific explanations, there were also helpful tips to try if you would like. The quotes from people who had experienced each type was an interesting addition as well. Overall an honest guide to orgasms and what you might need to try to experience one, as well as positions for each, some sex toy descriptions and more.

A worthy premise but not that useful. Geared primarily for couples. The author spends lots of time ensuring nobody of any sexual identity is offended by labels.
