A Book Review:

This is a funny, cute and really enjoyable book. I loved this book more than a pizza 😃. It is perfect for all YA romance lovers. It is a book we want to read again and again and every time it is as amusing as it was the first time. All the characters are lovable and so relatable. I was a little nostalgic and was remembering my high school days while reading it. We all had such a group of friends and classmates in high school. We envy our classmates and are a little conscious of ourselves. I could relate to Keely and I loved her innocence. She is so much like me when I was in high school. Andrew is such a wonderful friend and person and Hannah is Keely’s other best friend.This book is a complete entertainment package with mean girls, catfights, prom, and parties.

This book is about Keely who is a high school student and her best friends are Andrew and Hannah. The senior year in high school is all about stepping into adulthood. On her eighteenth birthday party, she walks on the only other person in the group of friends losing her virginity and realizes she is the only one left in the group. She gets a job in a video store and has a coworker Dean who seems to be interested in her. She is attracted to his good looks, his love for movies, his motorbike and his dimples and he is in college. He is a perfect guy for a high school girl. She is conscious that being a virgin Dean might not be interested in her. She tries to seek Andrew’s help because Andrew is her best friend, will never hurt her and will always treat her with respect but things become complicated and she realizes what she exactly wants. Things that were fogging her mind all of a sudden becomes clear.

The story is wonderful and all in all, it was a great read. I will definitely recommend this book if you like YA romance. I could fly through it and it exceeds my expectations.

Synopsis

High school senior Keely Collins takes on firsts, lasts, and everything in between in this sweet, sex-positive rom-com for fans of Meg Cabot and Jenny Han. 

It seemed like a good plan at first. 

When the only other virgin in her group of friends loses it at Keely's own eighteenth birthday party, she's inspired to take things into her own hands. She wants to have that experience too (well, not exactly like that--but with someone she trusts and actually likes), so she's going to need to find the guy, and fast. Problem is, she's known all the boys in her small high school forever, and it's kinda hard to be into a guy when you watched him eat crayons in kindergarten. 

So she 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 might actually be 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.
