Was looking for a light summer read and thought this could fit the bill. It was definitely cliche, as the main character Stacy has been experiencing a sex drought. With a week left until it's been a year, she decides she needs to have sex before that anniversary hits. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong while she tries to rectify this and her work life isn't in much better shape.
Since this was just meant as a fun summer read I wasn't looking for strong plot, but the ending was so incredibly ridiculous, that ruined it all for me.

Chick lit at its finest. The last 2 chapters were terrible but the rest was quite funny.

Mostly dumb. Occasionally funny, maybe even witty. The quality of writing wavered between being pretty good and being pandering or at least very superficial (this kind of junk really dated the book, keeping it solidly rooted in the cusp of the millennium). I kept hoping it would get better and when it didn't, I was already close enough to the end I figured I'd just finish it. By the way, the ending is RIDICULOUS, even for a work of fiction. Major eye-roller. That's all I'll say about that. Skip it.

I put this on my to read list for some reason. Then I found it on $0.49 clearance so I grabbed it. What a suck fest. I got through about 30 pages, then started with every 3rd page, then just the last couple of pages. I need to learn to just stay away from anything that can be categorized as chick lit. Ugh.
If only the letter from Venus on the cover had anything to do with the story. Venus trying to help her get laid? That's a fun idea.

Actually, I HATED this book! My girlfriend recommended it to me after I had recommended "Good in Bed" to her (and she loved "Good in Bed"). I was disgusted the whole time I read it. I think I actually threw up a little in my mouth! I think I was even a little insulted!

I picked this book specifically because of the title. I felt like this book was saying, This is your life. So when I started reading it, I was a bit (I don't want to say disappointed) underwhelmed. The author uses some really big words, that I find unnecessary to the story. If it was told from the protaganist point of view that would have been fine, since she was a writer or sorts but it's not. I did like the story though a woman who is still young, has forgotten how to be young. She's coming upon her revirginization (1 year since she's had sex) in a few days and she finds that depressing because let's be honest who wants to lose their virginity all over again right! So she sets out on a quest to get laid. She has some pretty laugh-out-loud encounters, trying to get in on with several worng and right people. Yet it never seems to work for her! My favorite target of Stacy's lust is Taylor. There was so much irony with Taylor because they both had the same intentions and yet they pretty much ruined their friendship, when that's what they were both after in the first place. This book is a true fiction novel. Nothing this hilarious could ever happen to one person in one lifetime. This book was good but I thought it would be more of a manifesto than a fantasy comedy of errs. If you're trying to figure out how to undo your own "revirginization" this book doesn't tell you how to fix it. Infact I think "Revirgins" like myself have probably done more harm than good by reading this book. We have spent our time reading (my favorite past-time) instead of looking for love, nooky or whatever it is that would "De-Revirginize" us.
