the book was floppy so that was good. nd i actually liked the characters and u could tell that hannah was written by lucy and sam was written by tom. but the book was painfully straight nd they kept going on abt how they were virgins which... is the whole point of the plot but sometimes they just brought it up where it was kinda unnecessary cl

This book took me a while to finish just because I had a hard time staying interested. Sweet story though!

eu amei a história, a construção e os personagens. eu me identifiquei TANTO com a personagem principal que dói. vários “sermões” que ela levou já foram feitos a mim de forma parecida (

This book was 2 things, it was funny. And it was nasty. This book should NOT be a YA book... I'll leave it at that

This was a fun read. It wasn’t life changing. I didn’t learn anything. I wasn’t changed by anything on the pages, but I was entertained. Sometimes that’s enough.

I can see why a lot of reviews compared this to Skins, and it's not only because it's about a group of partying British teens. There were so many odd coincidences, the trampoline Hannah almost loses her virginity on after being set up with a boy by her best friend, Stella. Stella was like a version of Mimi, and there was even a Panda. Sam read a lot like Sid, Chris was Tony, etc. There was a Grace too (yay!), although her loveliness turned a bit sour what with her cheating storyline (and the Grace in Skins would never oAo). I couldn't help making these small connections, but I had all the more fun with these characters because they felt like old friends.
This is the sort of laugh-out-loud writing that's easy to fall into, and I don't know, I appreciated just how realistic this was after the deluge of YA that keeps on stamping out true love and characters being held back from their true potential. Nope, all these characters-- Hannah, Sam, Stella, Robin, etc.-- were unglamorously ordinary, maybe except for their varying degrees of hotness. Side note-- I loved Robin's not-so-subtle obsession with Harry Potter, and his even less subtle ways of trying to pass it off as his sister's obsession.
Not a book I would necessarily choose to re-read, but I had a jolly laugh, as I say in my poor attempt to sound British <3

this book was NOT what i expected at all and i’m SO disappointed.
if i wanted to hear (for the entirety of this novel, may i add) about someone’s poor attempts at losing their virginity, i would’ve just taken one last stroll through the cafeteria at my old high school and listened in on the students’ conversations.
what the actual fuck was this

A lire et à relire !
Ce n'est pas du tout le genre de livre que j'ai l'habitude de lire pourtant j'ai été bluffé la première fois !
Le point de vue de la fille est écrit par une auteure, celui du garçon par un auteur. Pourtant, ça ne fait pas tâche et l'écriture est très fluide. D'ailleurs les héros n'en sont que plus réels. Un roman que je recommande pour les ados, mais aussi aux plus vieux si vous souhaitez revivre cette période de votre vie.
Rien n'est surfait, en trop, les personnages sont vrais et on s'y attache vite. Ce pourrait être des personnes que nous pourrions rencontrer en chair et en os.
Bref, un petit chef d’œuvre avec beaucoup d'humour, qui retrace l'histoire de la première fois, du premier amour, avec tous les doutes que cela peut receler : sans aucun cliché.
Ce n'est pas un énième roman sur ce sujet, c'est LE roman.

Sweet, this was quite nice.
No, I actually loved this book. I was contemplating giving it five stars, but then again it didn't surprise me. So... that is my reasoning, no exploding milkshakes in their faces or distant relatives with sketchy motives like in Pride and Prejudice. Either way, I think my favorite character of them all is Robin. He is me, if I was dude, but I would never pretend to know less about Harry Potter.
Indeed a worthy read if you are looking for a easy going story, the main characters are annoying at times, but stupid is human.
