In non-sex-themed novels, I always cheer when it comes up so a whole book about it? Jeez. *squee* A bit disappointed Lissa isn't totally loveable but hopefully I'll connect with her a bit more.

If you don't want to buy like I did, definitely borrow them from the library.

But as for the opening up to your friends, like you said it's different for everyone but I wouldn't like to go, "Hey guys this is what happened with me and -" Yeah not ideal. haha. <br /><br />Definitely read it because of Cash. Loved him. xErin W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057902364536764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-2643074763903356082012-01-17T14:14:13.669+10:002012-01-17T14:14:13.669+10:00I've never read Kody Keplinger before, but obv...I've never read Kody Keplinger before, but obviously I've heard all about her and her contemporary novels all around the book blogosphere. I honestly haven't been sure whether or not Shut Out or The DUFF would be something I'd like or not, so I've held out on picking either of them up so far. Nevertheless, I <i>have</i> heard a lot of good things about them. Maybe I'll put them on my library list?

I really ...Maaaan, I need to read Kody's books! I really want to see how she handles the whole 'forbidden topic' although I have a bit of an idea from blog posts I've read from her on the subject.<br /><br />As for the openness to talking about your sex life with your friends, I guess it really depends on YOU and your friends. Personally, I can't really see my friends and I getting very deep into the subject :P but I guess it's different for everyone.<br /><br />So... read Shut Out. Even if it's just to meet Cash. Got it ;)<br /><br />Great review, Erin! <3<br /><br />SoniaSoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180755111437637132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-54423995233412543972012-01-17T13:34:08.942+10:002012-01-17T13:34:08.942+10:00If you love female empowerment, you'll love th...If you love female empowerment, you'll love this book!

And it's so cool that Kody is a young author herself! :)<br /><br />Awesome review, Erin!! :) I probably wouldn't be friends with Lissa either LOL but I'd totally admire her!

This sounds great though, and really fun while also addressing lots of teen issues. Great review! :)Liz.

Kody seems like she's on a roll with her contemporary novels, really digging deep into the gritty reality of teenage sex. Maybe I need to give her another go with her second book, since it's been ages since I read The Duff, I might end up liking this better!! Brilliant review!Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.com
