I was so excited to finally be able to read this book! I've been waiting for the sequel ever since I read the first book in this series, over a year ago. After trying to be patient for months, I've been rewarded with an amazing sequel that didn't disappoint me at all.
When I started reading this book, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The first book didn't exactly end with a cliffhanger or something that indicated what the sequel could be about, so I was very curious. I didn't think that Skylar could possibly be even more awkward or embarrassing, but she was, which made this a cringe-worthy, yet relatable, novel. I'm a lot like her, which means that I found her anxiety annoying many times, mostly because I knew I would have done the same thing. Reading this series has definitely made me realize a lot about myself because of that, since I got to see some of my reactions from an exterior point of view. I thought that this was really well done by the author, so I would recommend this series to everyone who struggles with self-esteem and anxiety.
Once again, I found myself really envious of Skye, Bridget and Ollie's friendship, even though it wasn't as present as in the first book. They truly understand and care about each other and it seems amazing to have such a close group of friends. These three are all amazing and complex characters that I love to read about, so I was really glad to read another book about them. Ollie and Skye's relationship is adorable, but also realistic, especially in this novel. I did get a bit annoyed at them around the middle/end part of the book, but that issue was quickly solved. I truly think that Bridget has a role in their relationship, even though that sounds a bit weird and creepy, considering that she's Ollie's brother. I think that their relationship is even more solid because of their past as a trio, which I'm glad about, since I love them so much.
The plot of this sequel is quite complex since Skye put herself in such a messy situation, but I think that it worked. I wish that we could have seen a bit more of Bridget because she is a really interesting character, but I guess that we can't have everything. The ending is a bit cheesy, but I feel like it's like this for a reason. Also, I'm the last person on Earth who would complain about a cheesy romance story - they're my guilty pleasure!
If you have read the first book in this series, I would DEFINITELY recommend its sequel. If you haven't read the first one, pick it up right now and you'll discover a cute, funny and awkward story that will make you swoon more than once.

I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review in any way.
I really enjoyed the first Confessions book, Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist and I'd definitely recommend picking up book one before diving into Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist, but it's such a great book you won't regret it!
In my review of Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist I made it pretty clear that I liked Skye, and hated that the book had ended! Book two gave me more Skye and her clumsy shenanigans, and I got a resolution to the way book one ended!
After reading both books I can happily say that I am a fan of Kay Marie's writing style. She gets me hooked immediately and I end up devouring the book in less than a day. I found that Confessions #1 made me laugh out loud, and I am happy to report that Confessions of an Undercover Girlfriend had the same effects!
A character that I particularly enjoyed in this book was Blythe. In the first book she's pretty nasty and determined to get rid of Skye, whether that be from wok or her brother's personal life. I would say that Blythe undergoes that largest character growth over the two books, and she ended up being one my favourites!
Kay Marie writes brilliant characters and they all just worked so well together, although Bridget can be loud and opinionated, at some points overly so, we also saw the calm and caring side to her. The only character I hands down did not like was John, but that was pretty much guaranteed!
I would highly recommend going out and picking up Kay Marie's Confessions books if you haven't already, they are incredibly enjoyable New Adult reads, and they aren't overly smutty which is really refreshing!

Such a fun light read. I loved the story and the characters. At the beggining of the book some aspects of Skye were annoying but towards the end you understand why she is that way. I love how she develop and became the person she wanted to be for herself. And Ollie

I loved that we got a continuation of Skye and Ollie in book two. After all the fun of book one, we needed to know what happens with these characters. We all know Skye is a little bit of a hot mess, but she makes us laugh. This book has a many laughs as the first book and is incredibly sweet, it is worth the read for the rom-com lovers out there.

If any of you have read my review of the first book in this series, Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist, you’ll know that I was really liking this series so far. I loved the protagonists quirky personality and the romance made for some hilarity that ended up being really cute.
As usual, reading the second book of the series was a little nerve wracking - would it live up to my expectations? It did, it really did. But not in the way I was expecting.
The first book, to me at least, was just funny. It was a lot more than that of course, but I liked it because it let me have a little giggle and forget about my problems for a bit. This one however, felt more real somehow. Skylar really grew up throughout this read and it was more about her figuring herself out than the actual romance.
This book stood out. Cute romance novels like these always follow the same steps in the plot - the guy messes up ( that’s covered in the first book ), the girl gets upset and then the guy wins her back. It’s not the case here - Skylar is a mess. She does things in this book that almost has me banging my head against a wall, but she figures stuff out and she is the one that has to make up for her mistakes. There’s not a lot of books out there that feature a female protagonist being the cause of fights and breakups but this book is all about that and I appreciate it.
Also, I really liked the introduction of the new side of Blythe. It was nice getting to know the real her and she turns out to be a pretty great character. Of course all of the past characters play a big part in this book and it made for a great read. I really like this set of characters. Plus…Ollie is yummy.
All in all I enjoyed this read. It wasn’t as funny as the first book but it offered something different that made it stand out to me. I love Skylar because she isn’t perfect, far from it actually, and that made me relate to this book that much more.

Note: This is the second book in a series that must be read in order.
If you are new to the series, check out my review of book one: Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! HERE **
Confessions of an Undercover Girlfriend is written by ya author Kaitlin Davis, writing new adult as Kay Marie. This book is the second book in the series and it must be read after book one: Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! I really enjoyed the first book, and this one was no different. It is a hilarious read. I honestly don't know any other way to describe it. I struggled with this review because every other sentence I wrote kept repeating how funny and witty and quirky this book was. So I decided to scrap that whole long meandering and honestly just repetitive review and write a mini review instead, telling you that this book is funny and a great time and you should read it. Period. End of story.
Confessions of an Undercover Girlfriend picks up where book one leaves off with Skylar coming up with some new half baked idea for her and Ollie. Skylar is so funny, but she is also annoying and more than a little crazy. Even when she was driving me insane, I loved her though. She just has one of those personalities you can't help but like. You will shake your head at them lots, but in the end you will chuckle and stay their friend. That is exactly who Skylar is. She is a whirlwind of bad ideas that can't help but go horribly wrong, but that is half the fun with this series. It is really a good time.
Bottom line: If you enjoy comedy of errors type stories, you will enjoy Confessions of an Undercover Girlfriend. But read book one first!

Finally, the sequel to 'Confessions of a virgin sex columnist'!
This is not a standalone, as the book starts where the first book ended.
Skylar came home after a New Year's Eve party to find Ollie waiting for her, expressing his love. And she is now no longer a virgin sex columnist, but still freaking out, as she can't believe Ollie is in love with her. She is afraid to tell Bridget (her best friend, his sister and their roommate) and wants to keep it a secret until she is used to the idea. And ofcourse this leads to strange, embarrassing situations.
It took me a bit longer to read this as I became a bit annoyed about Skye's strange reasonings to keep lying to Bridget and others about her relationship with Ollie. She risked her friendship with Bridget and her relationship with Ollie and for what? And why?
But then the situation came to a head and it was indeed explained why Skye reacted this way and why she was feeling she could never have Ollie's love. I loved the way Skye made amends and really envied her friendship with Bridget. The ending was romantic and satisfying.
