Very well written, great take on emotionally issues around sexuality. Very provocative. For a upper YA Audience. Note the content of this books will make it not suitable for certain readers.

A surprisingly straightforward story about sex. Despite the fact that the majority of the main characters are 17, this story is not preachy. Though the sex scenes are often detailed it is generally not gratuitous and the language seems appropriate to the age of the characters.

Rating: 2.5/5 stars

Ok it's not all that bad (I'm trying here).

This is a story of three boys who are trying to lose their virginity.

Well........ hmmm.... It's forgettable but it's okay. It's just another typical coming-of-age book for adults. It is written from these three guys' POV, so it's pretty interesting to know how straight teenage boys think. It's pretty entertaining, despite how pathetic they can get. The author achieved that if that's what he was going for.

You have no idea how many times I said to myself "ugh straight boys" reading this. hahaha...

Time to read a more serious read. I HONESTLY feel like reading [a:Khaled Hosseini|569|Khaled Hosseini|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1359753468p2/569.jpg]. I am yet to get [b:And the Mountains Echoed|16115612|And the Mountains Echoed|Khaled Hosseini|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1358190204s/16115612.jpg|21933087].

What do teen boys think about minute after minute, day after day? Sex of course! This teen novel follows the story of several teen boys and their forays into sexual activity.

I was under no delusion of what I thought this book was, however;

I disliked the switch between 1st and 3rd person in paragraph breaks and felt the ending was very unsatisfying!

But, a good book, amusing read and very real!

Got pulled in more than I expected and it actually had some good points to make. Not as good as Junk, but still good.
