Giving Up the V by Serena Robar
2.0
I absolutely hate the book cover and title but I picked this up because I thought the subject matter about a girl contemplating "giving up" her virginity was provocative. And it is--it's just too bad the book didn't really do it any justice.
This is one of those examples of an author who relies on telling vs. showing. Much of the book feels hurried and the characters seem stock and generic. Worse, I had very little connection to the main character. Outside of her thoughts about losing her virginity, I had very little clue to who she was as a person--what did she like in school? What were her hobbies? It made it pretty difficult to care about her one way or another.
