Publisher Description
For those who grew up on Judy Blume—and graduated to Lena Dunham—a “hilarious”* debut...
“Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw, meet your wisecracking, vagina obsessed match. Sanghani's debut is a hilarious, irreverent look at smart-alecky, painfully self-concious, 21-year-old Ellie's relentless mission to rectify a disasterous first attempt at performing oral sex, get deflowered, find the perfect Brazilian wax, avoid her tradition-bound Greek mother's nagging, graduate summa cum laude, be a writer, and fit in...This story for millennials is a wonderful blend of modern agnst with old-fashioned sweetness.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Even Bridget Jones’s Diary could take a page from this novel."—*Joan Rivers
Okay, I admit it…I didn’t do it.
Yet.
This is normal, right? I mean, just because everyone I know has talked like they’ve already done it doesn’t mean that they’re telling the truth…right?
It’s not like I’m asking for that much. I don’t need the perfect guy. I don’t need candlelight or roses. Honestly, I don’t even need a real bed.
The guys I know complain that girls are always looking for Mr. Right—do I have to wear a sign that says I’m only looking for Mr. Right Now?
Sooooo…anyone out there want sex? Anyone? Hello? Just for fun?
I am not going to die a virgin. One way or another I am going to make this happen.
Hey, what have I got to lose? Besides the obvious.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw, meet your wisecracking, vagina-obsessed match. Sanghani's debut is a hilarious, irreverent look at smart-alecky, painfully self-conscious, 21-year-old Ellie's relentless mission to rectify a disastrous first attempt at performing oral sex, get deflowered, find the perfect Brazilian wax, avoid her tradition-bound Greek mother's nagging, graduate summa cum laude, be a writer, and fit in. She is joined in her booze-fueled misadventures by family friend Paul, newly uncloseted and a fellow virgin, and BFFs Lara, who makes Ellie confront uncomfortable truths about herself, and Emma, Ellie's cowriter for an advice vlog for other women stumbling along the "path of sexual activity." "Whatever you've felt? We've felt worse," the vloggers promise. Ellie will get it all ridiculously wrong before, predictably, she gets it just right. "I only accepted my virginity after I lost it," Ellie advises her vlogging audience. "Embrace the STDs... along with the regrets, the disastrous stories, the heartbreak, the pain and the regret." This story for millennials is a wonderful blend of modern angst with old-fashioned sweetness.
