ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.

The concept of this novel is a wonderful idea - a girl taking the virginity of different boys so that they can make the first time special for their girlfriends. There's lots of concepts at play here - is Mercedes really helping them? I mean, they're cheating on their girlfriends. Why is she doing this? As in, deep down what's the real motivation?

I guessed at what we find out it's the truth of the situation, although not in the complete situation as its revealed. This is a serious subject for a book and is very well written. I connected with the characters and wanted to find out more about them. Of course I was cheering for the happy ending to hopefully come and I wanted certain people to get what they deserved.

This book also highlights the cruelties of Internet bullying and how fast something can spread like wildfire to be a topic of gossip in a high school, and how the other students will treat the person in question.

Of course another important aspect is of sexual harassment and how people handle this and what they should about it. The consequences involved. Not a topic to be taken lightly of course.

I was very engaged in this book and it only took me a few hours to read. Serious yet entertaining and well written. A wonderful novel and I would definitely recommend.
