The Anti-Virginity Pact by Katie Wismer
3.0

The Anti-Virginity Pact is about a pastor’s daughter named Mare. Usually known as the shy, awkward girl, she is forced into the spotlight when an “anti-virginity” pact she has signed gets spread around her school.

I do follow Katie Wismer on Youtube, and was so excited to be able to get an ARC of this book! The book hooked me in from the beginning. I think I inhaled this book in less than twelve hours. The pacing and writing style really worked for me. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. As someone who was shy growing up, I immediately could relate to some of Mare’s reactions and feelings. I also appreciated that this book did not have a typical, predictable ending. Everything wasn’t wrapped up perfectly with a bow, and that was refreshing.

My biggest issue with the book was that there were too many issues that were trying to be addressed in the book. While I appreciate the author not backing down from tough issues, there were so many issues in the book. I don’t know that they were all necessary to tell the story, and maybe made the story not quite as coherent.

Overall, this was a quick, fun read and I am looking forward to reading more from Katie Wismer.
