Valerie is a
virgin and plans to stay that way until marriage. Unfortunately, her boyfriend of
3 months didn’t understand it and took it badly. Couldn’t he understand that
Val didn’t want to end up like her birth mother, who had to give her up for
adoption after having her at 16?
The next day
at school, the rumors spread how he dumped her because she was bad in bed,
prompting Val to announce her virginity to the whole school, thus, committing
social suicide. Heck, there was even a video of her embarrassing declaration on
YouTube! From that point on, she was branded as Virgin Val, and the V around
her neck was her Scarlett Letter. But perhaps she could use this media
attention. Thus, begins her abstinence campaign. V is Virgin.
I love how
Val stands up for herself, but she never expected things to go so far. Heck, she
even gains notoriety from a recent high school drop-out-turned-rock-star,
making her an instant celebrity.
Kyle was so
infuriating, just goading Val to break her streak on this whole virginity
thing. On top of Kyle’s incessant badgering, Val is torn apart between her
campaign, her jewelry design, and overall celebrity status that they get in the
way of her friendships. The whole thing turns into a world of crazy for Val.
Was Val’s
thinking delusional? Was she waiting for Mr. Perfect, who might not even exist?
Could there actually be something between Val and Kyle? Can Val change Mr.
Playboy to change his philandering ways?
Her story is
not about having sex; it’s about making choices for yourself. And Val was
making her choice, which what I liked best about her.
Full of
drama, tension, and big changes for everyone.
A great
read! It just gets you hooked from the start.
My rating: 5 stars
