The Night When No One Had Sex by Kalena Miller
4.0
***Thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book for me to read and review***
This was a really fun read! There was a nice variety of characters who all had different yet interesting stories. As it seems from the other reviews, I am not in the minority when I say that I liked Alex and Leah's story line the best.
Although it definitely bordered on awkward more than once, I thought Julia and Kevin's story was also good. You don't often see depictions of sex in high school in which both parties are informed, fully consenting, and actively trying to make it a good experience while still having difficulties. It is important to show that what she was feeling isn't normal, and young women shouldn't accept it as part of the experience.
There were a lot of really cute, funny moments. I actually laughed out loud more than once (the elf roleplay and Alex returning Bulldog comes to mind).
Some of the characters were more annoying than not, and I was less invested in some of the stories, but it was still a good read for me!
