Funny, wholesome and cute, whilst touching on deeper topics around sexuality, body image and consent. Essential read for any young girl, honestly wish i had read this when i was a teen. Another great read by Joya Goffney, i love her writing style, how she uses pop culture references and slang that i can identify with it just makes the characters more relatable

I'm in love with the ease of how Joya Goffeny wrote this story. Every  character is  realistic  in certain traits they have . Not to mention  I read this knowing I was going to learn some things. But I mean even then, some of it was unexpected.  

So as the main teen character, Monique, Or Mo for short,  learned about her vaginismus I felt utter respect.  Even though its YA and there were moments  of lack of maturity on the MC and side characters, Reggie and Sasha decisions. In particular with  Reggie, the wild and funny reform teen project for Mo's dad. But I'm okay with him as things were often  hectic and upbeat.  A necessary personality for  a  character  in this type of setting to ease the things Mo faced. Also Sasha who if there was a next book I'd want to read from her point of view.  She is everything and mature for how things unpack. 

On to a more serious note since thats all my thought on the main characters trio.

Sometimes to firgure out sexual activity or concerns help comes in the most unexpected way. I mean the people in life who are seemingly  the most religious.  This storyline made it a reminder again that help comes in surprising moments. That and learning  that not everyone  can be trusted at first. 

Anyways my emotions are wrecked into pieces. Then have rebuilt with new hope  by the end of Mo's  story. It was relatable in certain  ways. But when it wasn't  I felt  genuine  eagerness for Mo's self-discovery  journey.
