Kristen Bailey is my comfort blanket for when I need to resign from this world and learn how to laugh again. Sex Ed is a hilarious and heartfelt book that touched me in many ways (yes, I know what I typed). Firstly, our leads Mia and Ed are teachers! The protagonists couldn't be opposites as Mia thrives on social interactions, Tinder and has a direct relationship with sex. Compared to our wallflower, structured and "he must be protected at all costs", Ed has had nothing but a cold relationship with sex. A drunken confession leads to Mia showing Ed the ropes regarding sex, but this discovery process leads to both wanting something more. Leave it to the author dedicated to making readers cackle and snort. The banter between the characters is well-written, and the interactions with the students at school hit close to home (I am a teacher myself). For long-standing Kristen Bailey fans, BETH AND LUCY ARE HERE!! My heartstrings were tugged like a harp on reading their interactions with Mia. The ending was delightful and heartfelt. Overall, if you're looking to laugh, or yearning for something romantic or uplifting, give this book a go!
