This is a funny, entertaining, and delightful look at four young women’s experiences with friendship, love, heartbreak, sex, and the worry of what will happen after they graduate that spring from high school. All four friends decide to lose their virginity before graduation, and the novel, told in alternating points of view, chronicles their journeys.

The stories are not about romance as much as about friendship between the girls. Sexuality is addressed in a positive light, with discussions of sexual desire and masterbation, but without slut-shaming or any negativity. Safe-sex is a must throughout the plot.

Without spoiling the plot by disclosing who did or did not lose their virginity, let me just say that this is a fun read that won’t disappoint, featuring confident young women honestly exploring their sexuality.
