About this ebook
“A laugh-out-loud, sex-positive story about love, lust, and complicated female friendship.” —Liz Lawson, author of The Lucky Ones
A high school senior takes on firsts, lasts, and everything in between in this hilarious rom-com for fans of Lynn Painter, Meg Cabot, and Jenny Han.
High school senior Keely Collins is the last remaining virgin in her friend group. Problem is, she's known all the boys in her small high school forever, and it's hard to be into someone when you watched him eat crayons in kindergarten. And it is important for her to have that experience with someone she trusts and actually likes.
Keely can't believe her luck when she meets a ridiculously hot new guy named Dean. Not only does he look like he's fallen out of a classic movie poster, but he drives a motorcycle, flirts with ease, and is totally into her.
But Dean's already in college, and Keely is convinced he'll drop her if he finds out how inexperienced she is. That's when she talks herself into a new plan: her lifelong best friend, Andrew, would never hurt or betray her, and he's clearly been with enough girls that he can show her the ropes before she goes all the way with Dean. Of course, the plan only works if Andrew and Keely stay friends--just friends--so things are about to get complicated.
Cameron Lund's delightful debut is a hilarious and heartfelt story of first loves, first friends, and first times--and how making them your own is all that really matters.

I'm all for a pro-sex book, but this just feels more like an anti-virgin book. The main character is determined to lose her virginity simply because she feels like she will be branded a freak if she doesn't. In this book, being a virgin in college is compared to having a disease. A disease! How inspiring to young girls everywhere. I'm so glad we have books like this one to teach them that they must strive to lose their virginity before starting college so they never have to worry about being a social pariah!

This books is a cute little rom-com, but the high school drama is pretty intense. These kids are like Gossip Girl level cruel to each other, lots of drama, lots of sleeping around. The main character is sweet, and doesn't really belong in this world. It all works together well, it doesn't feel disjointed, but being 15 years out of high school, it was a lot to take in. I could have also used a little more fighting back against the way some of the guys treat these ladies. They stood by and took a little too much from them. However, this was not really the point of the book, the point, was the love story surrounding the main character and that was wonderful and sweet. Overall I liked it quite a bit.

Bestfriends since 6th grade to love? Received an ARC from BookishFirst. Keely and Andrew have been bestfriends since 6th grade and tell each other all of their secrets until the last year of HS. Andrew is the party boy that all the girls like and he has dated many of them with no hard feelings. Keely hasn't really dated anyone as she grew up these guys and hangs out with them as one the guys and hears all of the conversations they have talking about girls in HS. Keely realizes that everyone is having sex and she is the last virgin and gets the attention of a college guy, Dean. He makes her all swoony and she wants more but doesn't want to embarrass herself. Should she ask Andrew to teach her about sex and gain more experience for her time with Dean. Hilarious, funny and sweet.
