The Anti-Virginity Pact by Katie Wismer
3.0

I was thrilled to receive an ARC of The Anti-Virginity Pact. I love watching bookish youtube videos of the author in my free time, and I couldn't wait to read her debut novel!
I want to start by saying I really enjoyed this book, and I'm going to give it 4/5 stars easily. It took me on a roller-coaster of emotions. Anytime an author can actually sway my emotions and make me care about the characters, I count it as a success. I really liked Meredith. I found her to be strong through her meekness and overall likable. I understood why she made the decisions she did and it seemed plausible. Her best friend is a little more free-spirited, but as I got to know her, I really liked her too.
I also found the plot believable and entertaining. The book navigated religion tastefully, which is something I was a little worried about going into. I loved the dynamics between the different characters and how they developed over time. I think the one thing I really was a little sad about was that I felt the ending was rushed. I just wanted more.
Overall, great book! I had such a great time reading this I read it in one sitting.
