My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I received this ARC book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.

First, the title is self-explanatory of the story's plot.  This is a debut novel is a courageous, witty and often humorous book which follows a 21-year-old university student who ruminates over losing her virginity.  Since the author is not much older than the characters of which she writes, this novel would mostly appeal to that focused group.  University students and graduates in their 20's still navigating the vicissitudes of life as they transition into the"grown-up" world. Narrated with cheeky British humor although I would advise that readers who are easily offended by foul language ( specifically the f--- word) and graphic descriptions of "private parts" (although written to demonstrate the inexperience of the protagonist in often humorous "situations") should skip this book.

I found that the flow of the story needed some re-arranging. The other side stories although interesting become insignificant after the main plot is revealed. I enjoyed the side stories but wished they were woven into the story a bit tighter so that I didn't feel as if reading the rest of the book was obligated.

Overall, it was enjoyable despite the character's often predictable "situations" which arise due to her naiveté.
