~!~ A look at sex in a cute "clinical" way ~!~

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.

Really fun 'new adult' novella about a young women and her clinical and humorous and human take on intimate relations. A lively and fun read.
