More about the book:
“Like chocolate cake in an era of paleo diets and the Whole 30: indulgent, sticky, and not diet-culture friendly. From her nerdy teenage years in rural Montana to her empowered late twenties in New York City, this vulnerable memoir is simultaneously hilarious, heartwarming, and painfully, beautifully authentic.
Edgeman holds nothing back in this striking debut, as she describes her unconventional and promiscuous path to body positivity—a journey irrevocably tied to her rebellion against the constraints of Type 1 diabetes.
Finding Fuck Yes: A Memoir of Orgasms & Insulin is a reflection of our society, a meditation on self-worth, a treatise on how we treat women who love sex, and a challenge of how we view women who are not thin.”

Early Praise for Finding Fuck Yes
“This book taught me more about healthy female sexuality than any Cosmo article and empowered me more than any Spice Girls song. Finding Fuck Yes should be required reading for women of any age who want to discover (or rediscover) their power.”
–Naïna (broke up with her boyfriend after reading this book)
“Edgeman bares her heart in Finding Fuck Yes and shows us how an adventurous, diabetic, self-proclaimed slut navigates the world! Witty, coy, and honest, you won’t be able to put this work down. I learned, I related, and I definitely felt validated in ghosting that finance bro I matched with eons ago.”
–Courtney (met her partner on a devious BDSM site )
“A painstakingly honest, sometimes uncomfortable, absolutely riveting memoir—I couldn’t put it down.”
–Sarah (married a man she’ d never dated )
“Finding Fuck Yes is as fearless as it is funny. Edgeman dives deep into dating, sexuality, and the ever-illusory self-love. This book tackles everything from spoon theory to sex parties, with big hearted prose. I felt seen and I laughed out loud. A lot.”
–Margi (poly, sex positive feminist AF, kinda scared of Tinder )
“As a cis latinx man, books like this rarely capture my attention. I don’t connect with the protagonist—I’m interested in their journey but can’t relate. In Finding Fuck Yes, the sheer transparency of Clare’s stories and the quality of the writing made me feel like I was living through her. I was emotionally invested in everyone, from the disgusting words of The Power Forward to the sweet, sweet Ginger. Clare welcomes the reader into her personal, private life (including the harsh realities) all the while making it beautiful. Finding Fuck Yes encouraged me to take on life and find my own ‘fuck yes’ with my wife.”
–Angel (met his wife in high school )
