The Nerdy and the Dirty

Alright, alright, aaalright! 

Wow this was a super fast read, I was in some sort of slump, I usually get like this when I’m about to read the last book in a series (The Immortal Heights by Sherry Thomas).

I enjoyed this book more than I though I would. If you know me you know that I don’t live for contemporary novels. So I was kinda on fence about reading it. Thanks I did tho.

I love love love love the way sex was handled it was on this book. In hate when they try to sugar coated, this is aim for teenagers, do they know hoe much do they think about sex?? I was one once 😂 and I remember thinking about it a lot. 

Also loved the fact that it shows how responsable you have to be in order to have sex. I feel that parents of YA would teach sexual responsibilities more that just painted it as something bad, kids will slip less on becoming young parents. That is my opinion, knowledge is the best help.

I really loved the characters so much that I kinda wished the book was longer.

100% recommend this book!

A cool girl—with an X-rated internal life—and a socially inept guy prove that opposites attract in this honest look at love, sexuality, and becoming your true self, in this edgy YA novel by B.T. Gottfred. Penelope "Pen" Lupo is sick and tired of being fake—not fake in a mean girl way, but in a way that hides who she really is. On the outside, Pen is popular, quiet, and deferential to her boyfriend. On the inside, however, Pen is honest, opinionated—and not quite sure that she's like other girls. Do they have urges like she does? His classmates may consider him a nerd, but Benedict Pendleton knows he's destined for great things. All he has to do is find a worthy girlfriend, and his social station will be secured. Sure, Benedict is different—but that's what he likes about himself. When fate intervenes, both Pen and Benedict end up at the same vacation resort for winter break. Despite their differences, the two are drawn together. But is there such a thing as happily ever after for a nympho and a nerd? A unique take on first love suitable for both young adult and adult readers Praise for The Nerdy and the Dirty: "A truly beautiful story about passionately falling in love with another and learning to love and share your true self." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review "This is a love story that is genuine, explicit, passionate, and often adorable." —Booklist, starred review "A hilarious and deeply honest look at high school love....
