If you want a sex-positive book you found it.  Jack is convinced to write a Dear Jack Of Hearts column on his friend's blog about sex and sexuality.  At the same time, Jack starts receiving pink notes from a stalker, and the stalker is getting demeaning.

I loved how sex-positive this book was.  How confronting stereotype types  I was eager with each Jack Of Hearts letter. And wondering how far the stalker will go.    The flow of the masculine-sounding narrator's voice was easy to understand.  Overall I really liked how this book got into the sexuality of high schoolers, this one being more everyone is doing it end of the spectrum compared to other ya books that hint at sex to have occasional interactions.  This book focuses on a teen's active sex life but not in a creepy way.
