On the cover it says, "The Hip, Controversial Book That Everybody's Talking About." Hmmm. Really? Because I didn't see it. Personally, I don't think being 25 and a virgin is all that earth-shattering. There are more virgins out there than we know and not just females. Case in point, her first chapter entitled "Kevin Parks." And several other boys from high school and college (Harvard, even). Tara also questions herself several times, thinking that maybe she's a "slut" because she's done "everything" except the actual act of intercourse. No. It's called being smart since there were no mentions of condoms or birth control in her encounters. It could have been a much better book. The premise is there but her style of writing is just tedious, confusing, and all over the place.
