A great coming of age story w/ discussion of sex, purity, consent and what makes a ‘nice guy’ a nice guy. I found this book funny and charming and Del as a main character entertaining. 
I loved the side characters and how everyone had their own story going on and how the flowed into each others story. 
A great book for teens and a good choice for books clubs.
