A is for Abstinence by Kelly Oram
5.0
A is for Abstinence by Kelly Oram is a follow-up/sequel of sorts to [b:V is for Virgin|15703297|V is for Virgin (V is for Virgin, #1)|Kelly Oram|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1345676801s/15703297.jpg|21364310]. This time the story is told from Kyle’s perspective and can I just say it was perfect ♥︎ I LOVED this book!!! It picks up about 8 months prior to the epilogue of Val’s story so you know where it’s going but also get what’s been happening with Kyle which again I loved.
Kyle Hamilton is (and I’m sorry Brian) my favorite Oram character. I’m in love with him. He’s confident, knows he’s sexy, and is unapologetic for it. He knows his reputation and in this book he’s working to prove to Val he’s a changed man. This is the Kyle I could see in Val’s story but he just wasn’t mature enough to admit it yet. He’s a man in love with a girl who he’s never forgotten and he’s out to win her heart this time *swoon*
Val has grown up a lot in this book. While we don’t get her perspective this time, there were a few scenes I really wish I could have known what was running through her head, specifically the music video. Val is the confident young woman I knew she’d grow up to be. She’s still toting her “Virgin Val” brand and you can tell it is starting to wear on her, especially as her friends are getting married and having children of their own. She’s ready for it but after the heartbreak of Kyle turning her away once, she’s hesitant and really you can’t blame her for it.
Overall I adored this book! While [b:V is for Virgin|15703297|V is for Virgin (V is for Virgin, #1)|Kelly Oram|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1345676801s/15703297.jpg|21364310] is more for the mature young adult crowd, I would classify this one in a clean new adult genre. After all, Kyle is a rock star. I enjoyed reading this story from his perspective as he worked to change not only Val’s perception of him but the world’s perception of him. The abstinence bracelet Val gave him in the first book makes a reappearance in this one and he’s wearing it. How sexy is that?! If you enjoy clean, romantic comedy, I highly recommend you set aside some time and binge this book!
