Bea is a transfer student at a mid-tier public university in California. She’s happy to have left home to study biology and live in a dorm with four girls crammed into one tiny room. She is even happier to finally be doing it. Unknown to Peter, her maybe boyfriend, she is keeping notes, just like she does for biology class, so that she has a baseline for their new experiment in getting it on. She even has plans to use her notes as a resource for writing erotic stories that she can sell on the Internet, to help her pay for her next year in school.
Lauren Kells lives in California with her musical husband. She enjoys laughing with her girlfriends, drinking espresso and sleeping in fresh linens. When she's not writing realistic stories about being awkward, she's probably reading a memoir with a side of bread and cheese.

What a cute look into the mind of a nerd-like college girl as she goes through her first sexual experiences with a guy who is not only a "nerd", but is also at her same level of sexual experience. They are looking at these experiences in a very clinical manner until some feelings finally begin to take over. It's sweet. Two virgins trying to figure out what pleases each other sexually. This does not end with a cliffhanger.
Bea's Notes reminded me of how I felt during my early twenties, when you've moved on from being amazed that you're finally *doing it* and are now concerned with *how* you're doing it. A charming and funny first book. I look forward to the next.
What a cute little nerdy girl :) I liked this story and didn't feel like i was reading a sex book but about a young woman's sexual awakening. A quick sweet read.
