This was such a surprise. It did not go in the direction I thought it would at all, but it was excellent.
It was fun, educational, funny and emotional all at once and I really enjoyed my time with this book. I loved the exploration of sexuality and vaginismus aimed towards high schoolers, particularly those ingrained in church life, and I think this will be an important book for a lot of teenagers.
I loved Monique, and this was really a story of her coming of age and exploration of self, as opposed to the romance that I expected, though there is a bit of a romance plot in here too. I really liked that the romance wasn't the main focus in the book and we got a lot about Monique and her journey.
A wonderful story that I would recommend for a lot of people to read, particularly teenagers but not only teenagers.
