Virgin” is a laugh out loud novel about a girl named Ellie who is trying to lose her “v-card”. She enlists the help of close friends in order to learn more about sex and feels the heavy weight of societal and peer pressure that guide her to decide to lose her “v-card”. Her reason? Everyone else has already “done it”. Ellie feels like she’s always the outsider looking in, so this is what mainly motivates her to go on this quest. I found this book to be hilarious, with many cringe worthy events that had me laughing throughout the entire novel. I found the novel also to be relatable to many of what some twenty-somethings may be going through. Though women at this age have passed the puberty years we still worry about things like growing up, asking real questions, and we are still trying to understand boys. The novel also doesn’t just focus on sex, but it’s also a novel about trying to find yourself and being comfortable in your own skin. And through this quest Ellie ultimately becomes more confident about herself and her body. I think this book is a great novel that women should read. I also really enjoyed the fact that it talks openly about subjects in way that doesn’t make readers uncomfortable and rather opens up the table for discussion. Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a fun, light read “Virgin” is a great choice! 4 out of 5 stars! Pre-owned condition.
