Virgin by Radhika Sanghani

What is is about?


Okay, I admit it…I didn’t do it.

Yet.

This is normal, right?  I mean, just because everyone I know has talked like they’ve already done it doesn’t mean that they’re telling the truth…right?

It’s not like I’m asking for that much. I don’t need the perfect guy. I don’t need candlelight or roses. Honestly, I don’t even need a real bed.

The guys I know complain that girls are always looking for Mr. Right—do I have to wear a sign that says I’m only looking for Mr. Right Now?

Sooooo…anyone out there want sex? Anyone? Hello? Just for fun?

I am not going to die a virgin. One way or another I am going to make this happen.

Hey, what have I got to lose? Besides the obvious.

My Thoughts...

I gave this book 2 out of 5 stars.

I was expecting to really like this book. I thought it was going to be very funny. However I didn't like it all that much and I didn't find it to be all that funny. I thought the main character was quite annoying actually. I kept reading, waiting for the big moment, the life changing moment, but it didn't happen. So then I kept waiting for 'funny' to happen, only that didn't happen either. 
The book did touch on some important issues- peer pressure, conformity, virginity (obviously), relationships and how media affects our perceptions of what is 'normal' and acceptable. These are important issues for today's youth.
It was a disappointment, not at all what I expected
