My name is Skylar Quinn. I just moved to New York with my best friend Bridget, and I have a confession. Well, more than one. Okay, quite a few really. Fine, here goes!
Confession #1: I'm a sex columnist. Hold on, that's not really the confession. You see, I'm sort of a virgin...sex columnist.
Confession #2: I'm kind of in love with Bridget's older brother, Oliver. No, I was. No, I am. Wait, was? Am? Crap.
Confession #3: I've been avoiding Oliver for four years. Or I was until today, because he just moved in. Yes, you read that correctly. He's my new roommate. So that night we've both been pretending never happened, well, we might not be able to keep it a secret any longer.

Skylar is a virgin sex columnist and this leads to some awkward situations. Her editor doesn't know that she's virgin. Her best friend ends up helping her with the articles. She's also been in denial about loving her best friend's brother for four years...and he ends up moving into their apartment one night.
I love this story. I love the characters that personable and lovable and oh so real. I love the friendship that Skylar and Bridgett have. I love the tension between Ollie and Sky. I love the writing style of this author
I highly recommend this novel, since it's short and sweet, light and funny.

MAAAAAAAALDITA SEA!!!!! Les he dicho lo mucho que odio los finales abiertos???? Voy a por el siguiente libro ya mismo. No me pueden dejar así! NO NO NO.
Puntos a recalcar:
Ollie? LOOOOO AMO. Fin.😍😍😍
PATRICK? JAAAAAA un co protagonista más perfecto no puede existir. Me encantó, lo amo casi tanto como a Oliver y en serio, necesito amor para él.🌝❤️❤️❤️
Skylar? JAJJAJAJAJJAJJAJJJA Está mujer es tan inadaptada como yo. Es totalmente yo 😂😂😂 ni siquiera puede decir mentiras (como yo, así de fatal es mi vida) igual de dramas e histérica. Sip, tooooda yo. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙈
Fue un libro ligero, divertido, emocionante, una comedia chic lik en toda regla. Muy al estilo de las películas románticas americanas. Me recordó un montón a mi peli favorita “Como perder a un hombre en 10 días” por aquello de que es columnista.
No le doy 5 por que tampoco es perfecta pero tiene todo lo que buscaba. Muy recomendable para pasar el rato y caer por estos hombres derretida como nieve al sol 🌞

“It’s a pity that virgins can’t be issued with some kind of barcode. Think of the problems that would have saved you.”
----Sara Craven
Kaitlyn Davis, an American best-selling author, writing under her pseudonym, Kay Marie, pens her new contemporary romance book, Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! that is the personal account of a virgin college-graduate who writes for a sex column and her drama with men and other similar issues.
Synopsis:
My name is Skylar Quinn. I just moved to New York with my best friend Bridget, and I have a confession. Well, more than one. Okay, quite a few really. Fine, here goes!
Confession #1: I'm a sex columnist. Hold on, that's not really the confession. You see, I'm sort of a virgin...sex columnist.
Confession #2: I'm kind of in love with Bridget's older brother, Oliver. No, I was. No, I am. Wait, was? Am? Crap.
Confession #3: I've been avoiding Oliver for four years. Or I was until today, because he just moved in. Yes, you read that correctly. He's my new roommate. So that night we've both been pretending never happened, well, we might not be able to keep it a secret any longer.
And trust me, this is only the beginning.
Skye is a twenty-two year old college graduate working for a newspaper for their dating column section, unfortunately, Skye is really inexperienced in the dating department, moreover, she is still a virgin, because she is in love with her roommate's brother, Ollie, who too comes to stay with the women in their NYC apartment and Skye tries to act natural in front of him, but things get messed up when she is introduced to her co-worker's brother, Patrick, who can win any heart quite easily. But it is really hard for her to get over Ollie.
The writing is fun, and since this is a first person POV, so we are easily able to contemplate with Skye's issues. Moreover, Skye has a cool voice thus keeping the narrative style easy and free-flowing. The plot is layered with quite a lot of ROFL moments that surely cracked me up. The author have poured right emotions just at the right moments, thus the plot touched me in equal ways.
All the characters are drawn with enough realism and their witty demeanor kept me engaged till the very end. Skye is hilarious yet a strong heroine and her life is surrounded with a lot of confused boy-drama. There is a lot of chemistry between Skye and Ollie and Skye and Patrick which the author have depicted it in a light-hearted manner yet with enough passion.
Overall, this is an entertaining book, but unfortunately the climax was very predictable one and if you don't like cheesy rom-coms, then this is not the book for you.
Verdict: If you want to have a good laugh and a no-strings kinda relationship with a book, then do read this one.

This is mostly a musing instead of a review.
Okay. This book is a nice light read with an occasional laugh out loud moments. But what really got me was this scene:
He is prince charming.
I'm Cinderella.
And in fairy tale, that's great. But in real life, we're from different worlds-ones that don't fit.I don't belong with his parents. I don't see myself ever calling their mansion on the Upper East Side home..."
Well tough shit. This happened to me.
We all thought that those Cinderella moments in someone's life is beautiful and magical. Maybe they are. But we keep on forgetting that this is not a fairy tale. Well maybe I did forget. Let's all skip the mushy things that happened to me because I don't want to melt into a puddle of tears here in the office. Let's just say that once upon a time, not so long ago (actually, it's six months and thirteen days, but who's counting?) I really really liked a guy who is wonderful. I mean, why won't you like someone who isn't wonderful?
So to make this short, he is witty (he has his moments), cute, kinda aloof and filthy rich. I already know he came from money because he's a classmate of a friend in a school where their tuition costs around 70K per semester.(Which is ridiculous, if you ask me.) Fast forward because I really don't want to get into details, we have a boyfriend-girlfriend-not-exactly-but-kinda relationship.
(The things teenagers invented nowadays were pretty weird..)
So we were happy for a while. But like all love stories (and I want to think ours is a love story, no matter how short it is) everything came to an end. Like what Sky and Patrick have, we ended things because our lives are too different.
He dines in high class restaurants, I'm happy eating fast foods.
He has a freaking pool in their house and I don't even have a bath tub.
He watched symphony for pete's sake while I prefer to do the singing in the shower.
Little things if you ask me, but all these little things make up for the reason why we both know it's not going to work. Unlike Skylar in this story, we are a little bit in love with each other. I'd like to believe that love is love no matter what its size was.
I don't know if Cinderella's heart beats so loud when the Prince is around or if she has that tightening of the gut when the Prince looks at her way. Because I do. I have that for him. But no matter how many butterflies and dragonflies flutter in my stomach, some things can't be denied. Our life is too different and we can't give it up for each other's sake. I don't have a fairy godmother or a pumpkin. I'm just one cynic who is also a realist.
Just because you fall in love with your prince charming doesn't mean that you'll have your happily ever after.
THE UNIVERSE IS SHITTY THAT WAY.

Ollie
Ollie
Ollie 💕😍💕😍
Solo por Ollie...
Él fue lo mejor del libro, en pocas palabras un AMOR.
Ella era bastante, tímida e inexperta cuando se trata de relaciones y citas o sea bastante Awkward como yo 🙋, pero era muy tonta y desesperante no se si porque andaba en un mood hater que no la soporté pero estaba alterando mis nervios.
Y como dije siempre que salía Ollie era todo mejor pero la interacción de ellos fue muy poca.
Se la pasó besuqueándose con su nuevo novio todo el tiempo y eso a mi i don’t like it.
Se que me dijeron que era chick lit pero yo quería más amor.
La parte final romántica entre ellos si le gustó mucho 😍😍.
Y ese final abierto... WTF? ??...

I was really annoyed by Skylar in the beginning. I couldn’t stand her panic attacks. She over analyzed everything and took things out of proportion. Someone please hand her a Xanax.
The plot was okay. A virgin journalist writing about dating and sex for her generation. It had its funny moments but nothing blew me away.
I would be interested in reading the rest of the series. My only complaint was the lack of heat. The only things going on were some smooches and hugs.

De este libro me atrajo mucho la sinopsis, no se exactamente que fue lo que me resulto tan cautivador de ella, puede que fuera el cliche de la chica enamorada del hermano de su amiga, el cual es un topico que me vuelve loca o quizas fue porque tenia muy buenas criticas, fuera lo que fuera, estoy muy contenta de haberlo leido.
Confessions Of A Virgin Sex Columnist fue una historia deliciosa, fresca, entretenida y con un ritmo muy agil a la hora de pasar las paginas, uno de los aspectos que mas me gusto fue el caracter de la protagonista femenina, es posible que a muchas personas no les agrade su forma de ser, pero honestamente a mi me lo hizo pasar de fabula y considero que ella es un muy buen aliciente para darle una oportunidad a esta novela.
Una de las pocas pegas que le puedo poner a la historia es que me hubiera gustado encontrar mas romance y tambien llegar a conocer mas en profundidad al protagonista masculino, puesto que senti que sabemos muy poco sobre Ollie, aun y con todo eso, la lectura me dejo mucho mas complacida de lo que imaginaba, lo que siempre es agradable.
En cuanto a la narracion, admito que me encanto desde el principio, me parecio que la pluma de Kay Marie es muy sencilla y directa, lo que hace que devorar esta historia sea algo sumamente facil.
El final es simplemente desesperante, admito que me esperaba algo asi ( sobretodo al haber un segundo tomo ), sin embargo me dejo con la miel en los labios, principalmente porque al fin empezaba a haber mas romance entre Skye y Ollie, cosa que venia ansiando desde la mitad de la novela.
En conclusion, Confessions Of A Virgin Sex Columnist es una historia graciosa, divertida, alocada y que realmente te hace pasar unos momentos muy alegres, ademas pese a que hay algun que otro pequeño instante de drama, lo que abunda en esta lectura son los puntos comicos.
3.75 Estrellas!

IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! I felt like I could explode with all the feels. Ahhhhhhhhh. Seriously, this book made me feel in love.
I knew it would be a funny book, simply because of the title. I almost didn't even read the description, because I knew I wanted to read a book with such a catchy title, no matter what else it's about. I was right, because this is a funny story. I mean, being a twenty-two year-old virgin and having to write about your sex life is problematic, but overall, I think Skye didn't handle it too badly. I don't think the story is that much about her being a journalist though, but it's what provoked everything else in the story.
I really liked the chemistry between Skye, Bridget and Ollie. It's obvious that they grew up together and the fact that they know everything about each other makes it really easy for them to understand each other. Their friendship is important to Skye and I have to admit I wished I could have such friends (or more than friends...).
The story is very swoon-worthy (believe me, I had to stop reading sometimes because of how deeply I felt the romance). There are two good looking guys who do romantic things for Skye and who basically mess with her head and I think they'll mess with yours, too. It isn't really a love triangle, at least in my opinion, because both guys don't represent the same thing for Skye at all.
The only thing I didn't like so much was the ending. I had absolutely no idea this would be a series until it was announced and I don't really think it was necessary. Sure, I will read the next book, but I wish it had ended nicely, just like I thought it would.
I highly recommend this novel, since it's short and sweet, light and funny. I would've read it in one sitting if I could've.

"I am sort of in love with Oliver McDonough - no wait, I was. No, I am, I was. Am? Was? Crap!"
What a quick, fun read! This book was truly adorable, the characters are really well developed, the storyline entertaining, full of moments that make you giggle and some that gave me a little bit of second hand embarrassment!
Skylar is such an endearing character, she is passionate about writing and reading, she is a little nerdy and shy but at the same time she isn't one to sway from her own beliefs. That is something that I truly admired.
In her role as a sex columnist her boss sets her tasks for the week, i.e try and find yourself a boyfriend, get rid of him his boring, write about your experience flirting and so on and so forth. She does all of tasks required of her, but what I liked was that although she dressed up for her dates she never changed her overall style, there was no takes of her glasses moment and all the boys be like damn girl. She gets this attention by being herself, by putting herself out there and taking risks and for that I think her character sends a a great message that we tell young girls all the time, and that's it is what is on the inside that counts.
"Well, because I want you to know that if you're not ready, he can wait. And if he can't wait, he can be replaced."
I also really loved Bridget. Her friendship with Bridget was beautiful. they were the ying to the others yang and it worked, well beautifully. They were super supportive of each other and I loved how it didn't feel forced.
Ollie and Skylar clearly have a past and the chemistry between them was 100% there, but I wanted them to have more scenes together. Or maybe some more flashbacks, just something more. It definitely wasn't forced but it felt like it was missing something.
One negative thing is that I didn't know this was a series so as things happened towards the end, I was like argh we are running out of time! I need more and I could feel myself loosing interest, like really we are ending this now, but that is not the case it is a series and I am pumped to read the next instalment and follow the lives of these hilarious characters.

4/5.0 stars
I have to say, this book was unexpected. And so MISLEADING, that title! It screamed generic raunchy romance, and given, I've acquired a seen-one-seen-them-all take on NA, imagine my surprise - a welcome one at that!
Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! is refreshingly innocent and light. What I liked most about this book was how less-dramatic the characters were and more grown-up, it shows you it's doable to build conflict in a manner that does not need to make the characters appear immature and silly.
The title(and moderately, the story too) reminded me of Confessions of a Shopaholic(I watched the movie, did not read the book, sorry). So, here's Skylar, an unlikely and inexperienced, sex/dating columnist putting up pretense to keep her job. She's a virgin, having grown up socially aloof and harboring a secret love for her best friend's older brother, Oliver(which bore no fruition). Later, Ollie, inconveniently resurfaces in her life by moving in the apartment she shares with his sister, Bridget.
Make no mistake, Skylar is in no way your traditional Mary Sue and neither is she a weakling. For all her awkwardness and introversion, she uses her smarts to navigate through life in her own terms.
This book was recommended to me by my Goodread friend, Paige - Thank you! This is perfect for all you ladies who loves breezy contemporary romance. Happy reading!
"Want to know the real reason I'm a virgin? Because I want to be. Maybe it's idealistic, but I've been waiting to be in love with someone who truly loves me back. So maybe my first confession shouldn't have been that I'm a twenty-two year old virgin. I mean, who cares? The real confession is that I'm a twenty-two year old who's never been in love. And to be honest, that's much more depressing to me."

Make no mistake, Skylar is in no way your traditional Mary Sue and neither is she a weakling. For all her awkwardness and introversion, she uses her smarts to navigate through life in her own terms.
This book was recommended to me by my Goodread friend, Paige - Thank you! This is perfect for all you ladies who loves breezy contemporary romance. Happy reading!

Aunque al comienzo pensé en dejar la historia decidí en darle una oportunidad y pues bueno no me arrepiento.... lo que mas me encanta de este genero es que las historias son divertidas con sus gotas de drama y una protagonista que aunque al comienzo quieres sacudirla por tonta en algunas decisiones va madurando con el seguir de los capitulos y en algunos momentos te identificas con ella... :P me hubiera gustado mucho si solo hubiera sido libro único y le hubieran dado a los protagonistas un final juntos ... debido a que las secuelas lo único que hacen es dañar las historias... así que no se si la lea...

Omg this book was absoFREAKINlutely hilarious! And when I say hilarious, I mean stuff-my-hands-inside-my-mouth-to-keep-from-laughing-out-loud hilarious. And I'm not even kidding! Cause lets face it, I don't want people to think I'm a deranged person who suddenly laughs out loud at midnight.
And skylar. Have I mentioned that I'm in love with her name?
And she is relatable.
Socially awkward. Check.
No flirting skills whatsoever. Check.
I really really enjoyed reading the book. Its been a while since I just.. Enjoyed a book so much. Like, had fun with it.
My only regret is that I finished it far too soon. But what was I to do? This books was unputdownable. But you understand, right?

3.5 stars. This book started out really cute and gave me some legitimate laughs. But after awhile it became really repetitive and Skye's pining and worrying became tiring to the point that while I found this book enjoyable enough I have no desire to read the sequel

loved this one! it made me laugh so bad at times, but it wasn't overdone. i thought it to be quite realistic in regards to emotions and reactions. no fairy tales to be found here, just a fun story of a girl "growing up" & taking charge of her own life.

Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! by Kay Marie is an adorable Chick-Lit, New Adult story with romantic undertones. It’s from the first person POV of Skye, a twenty-two year old recent college graduate who lives with her best friend from childhood, Bridget in NYC. Skye gets a major promotion after working a few months at a newspaper. She’s been hired to write a dating column because she’s a great writer, but also the normal, average type of woman instead of the high end, model type celebrity power hungry assistants working for the paper. Skye feels like a major duck out of water. She doesn’t really date and isn’t comfortable in big social settings. She’s never had a long lasting relationship with a man. She hides a big secret- she’s a virgin. The reason Skye is a virgin is very admirable, and I wanted to stand up and cheer for her because she shouldn’t feel strange or abnormal for not just having sex with any man just to lose her virginity by a certain age. One of the big reasons Skye is still a virgin because she has an unrequited love for Oliver, aka Ollie, Bridget’s older brother.
The first chapter is a great hoot of an introduction into Skye’s world. She spills her new job and her virgin status by mistake to Ollie who has moved to NYC because he has a job as a chef at a restaurant there. He’ll also live with the women for a few months until he finds something more permanent. Skye is not at all comfortable with having Ollie around. She hasn’t seen him or spoken to him in 4 years, right before she went to college because something disastrous (in her mind) happened between her and Ollie. But Ollie doesn’t act strange toward her, so she pretends everything is great.
Skye feels she has to embellish her dating experiences for the column. She does online dating (hilarious scene), blind dating and group settings where she can get her flirt on. Ollie is there to tease her, but also watch out for her. She is really confused by his help and his possible jealous reactions. Things are on the up and up when one of her snobby and pretentious co-workers, inadvertently introduces Skye to her brother, Patrick. Patrick is a true gem of a guy. He’s handsome, rich, sweet, and wants to date Skye. He doesn’t move too fast for her, and is one great kisser. I was even smitten with Patrick! Everything seems to be coming together for Skye, but she feels as if something is missing. Her feelings for Ollie are still there, but she knows she needs to get over Ollie and give Patrick a chance.
Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! reminds me of a tamer Sex and the City. Skye’s voice and personality are great here. You really sympathize for her dilemma. Does she stay with the too good to be true Patrick (who really is a nice, nice guy), or does she go for Ollie who acts more like a brother to her than a potential suitor? There are some funny moments that will make you grin, especially when Skye, Bridget and Ollie all hang out together.
The sensuality factor is G-13. There’s a lot of kissing and mostly fade to black scene scenes, which are minimal. The ending is very awww and has a big swoonfactor. There is a slight cliffhanger that has me anxious for the next book. I want Skye to get her HEA with the man of her dreams, whoever that might be. This is the perfect book for teens and adults who like contemporary romance with great characterization and dialogue. All the characters her are very nice people who you end up rooting for.
Kay Marie gets major kudos from me. A very recommended read.

I must confess I loved it!
This was just so CUTE! It was such a witty and adorable story filled with imperfect characters and a realistic plot. I just can't explain how much I loved this book. This isn't my first book by Kaitlyn Davis and it for sure won't be my last. *sigh* can't get over how much I loved this story. I need the second. That cliffhanger is killer!!!!
Like I said, I've read other books by this author and I've loved pretty much everyone one of them. This book definitely lived up to the others. She writes witty and strong prose. Her characters voice is unique and very well developed. She wrote in the style of train of thought where we read every single thought Skye thinks. It's like we are Skye. It was perfectly executed. Just....beautiful!
The plot was another high point for me. It was so clever and funny. I found myself laughing at all the quirky situations Skye got herself in. Girl is so clumsy. Take her job for example. She's a sex columnist writer who's never had sex. Awkward. I'm gonna be honest that when I read that I was afraid that this whole novel would be about her obsessing over sex and her doing nothing but it. It wasn't. This was a story about romance and finding yourself. This is not about sex. Oh the romance. I just want to quickly mention how much I loved the way Davis handled Skye's love life. It was so realistic and cute. I was swooning so many times in this story all because of one word: Ollie.
Loved, loved, loved the characters. Skye was an amazing protagonist. She was strong, imperfect, realistic, making her seem like a real person. I could relate to her. She wasn't naive, perfect school girl or a sexy, confident supermodel. Skye was just Skye. Everything about her was human and her imperfections and awkwardness made her perfect. Ollie was another amazing character. He made me swoon way too many times. I love his teasing and how down to earth he is. I also love how as a child he was awkward and such a....kid. His overprotectiveness was sweet and those eyes.... Gosh I just can't right now. The other characters were great too. Patrick was so sweet and charming. Bridget was hilarious and the coolest friend ever. Though I have a feeling their friendship is really going to be tested in the next book. Oh no!
I would recommend this book to everyone!! Love this story. If you're into romances then this is perfect for you. Plus, if you like this one give her other books a read. They are all really amazing. Enjoy!

This was supposed to be fun and to make me laugh or at least giggle or smile, but it didn't. To be honest the cover and the synosis are funnier than the story itself.
For me this book was ok, nothing too special but still cute. I liked the writing style which was average to be honest. I felt nothing for the characters and I continued reading more so I'd know how it ends. All the characters felt flat, uni - dimensional and all the tension that was or it should have been I didn't see it. And how the main character goes from one guy to another... really? I mean, if you see that you don't like the guy and you feel nothing for him, then why the heck you keep dating? Just so you won't be alone? Sorry, but for me that is the stupidest thing ever and I can't swallow it.
In point of romance I got angrier while I read, cause as I said Skye can't f.king decide with which guy she wants to stay and Ollie is as stupid or a ton stupid than her. Like 'I love and I want you and bla bla bla but we can't be together even if we almost hook up" and then after some chapters he changes his mind. Or Skye changes her mind. I rolled my eyes so hard! And in point of funny... it was funny? Really? Where cause I didn't see it and sometimes I tried to be awake and not fall asleep on my kindle.
I don't want to be harsh but this was ok or just boring. Is that kind of book that you read when you want something very easy, not too complicated, with cliche storyline, uni-dimensional characters. And don't expect this book to have logic or something because it doesn;t. I mean, ok, it wasn't funny! I dislked all the romance! I disliked the characters. And Skye was so false! How can you be somehow just to please someone or just so a guy can like you. How can you date someone if you don't care about him or you throw yourself at him just because the one you like doesn;t like you back. Whatever.
I'm ending this before I become more angry. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe you'l like this cliche, boring, without logic, over the top cliche bla bla.

This book had me from the very beginning. Skyler "Skye" Quinn narrates the story in such a fun, quirky, cute and funny way that you just can't help but love her immediately. She's an everywoman who is smart, capable, and quirky, and all of this comes sparkling off the page. She tends to space out when someone talks to her, as her minds works in a million different directions, and this characterization came across brilliantly.
All the characters were very well done in the story. I love her fiesty best friend, Bridget, and I loved Oliver...although I would have liked to have seen a little bit more from him. Perhaps a few more scenes between him and Skye to make him more of an impact on a daily basis in her life. I think it would have increased Skye's conflict quite a bit, since she's been in love with him for years. I kind of wanted to see more of that struggle on her end.
However, the story was so engaging and Skye's narrative so engrossing, that this didn't detract from the story very much for me. I loved watching Skye try to maneuver her way through being a sex columnist who happens to be a virgin. She has to attempt to write a believable sex column using real life experience, and some of these scenarios made for some very funny moments throughout the story.
The book was a fast-paced read that really engrossed me, but Skye stole the show over any other character, or even the story itself. Her narration was so fun to read, that the book could have been about anything and I probably would have loved it. The author did an amazing job conveying her character and making her leap off the page in a three-dimensional way. I was extremely gratified to discover that there will be a sequel to this book, and I can't wait to get my hands on it to read more of Skye's wonderful thoughts. A very cute read!

5Took me by surprise stars
*ARC generously provided via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
I have never read anything by this author and really didn't know what to expect going into this story. I was so surprised!! What a fun and quirky read! I love the authors writing style, the characters, the humor, and the little bit of angst!
Skylar Quinn has always been the bookworm. She is part of a trio that includes her glamorous and beautiful best friend of Bridgett, along with Bridgett's brother Oliver. The three have been inseparable since childhood. Bridgett and Oliver were her best friends, part of all of her best memories, and there for her during the trials of her child hood. Well.... until the "thing" that Skylar refuses to talk about that happened with Ollie. Since then Bridgett has avoided Ollie for the last four years. Four years she has spent trying to get over him... yep... Skylark is in love with her best friends brother. Then one day she gets the surprise of a lifetime, Ollie is back and is unavoidable... he is their new roommate.
Skylar's life is a little crazy at the moment, she has a new column at work.... a sex column and she is a virgin. She is trying to navigate the waters of her new job all while trying to figure out how to date and get over her feelings for Ollie who seems to always be around.
There are many twists and turns to the out of the ordinary story. There are added love interests, crazy accidents, and moments that make you want to choke Skylar. Well... If you didn't love her so much.
I love this story. I love the characters that personable and lovable and oh so real. I love the friendship that Skylar and Bridgett have. I love the tension between Ollie and Sky. I love the writing style of this author. If you are looking for your next great read... look no further!!

So this was a very generic chick lit type book. The heroine, Skylar, is very annoying about her virginity, - she makes this big deal out of still being a virgin when she's only 22 - she's also annoying about alluding to her and Oliver's past but never saying what happened (which turns out to be no big deal, by the way). I mean, I get that the author was trying to do with the "secret past" but Skylar mentioned it a lot and it really did start to drag.
The story was your basic girl likes boy, boy hurts girls feelings, girl avoids boy, girl can't avoid boy any more, girl denies feelings for boy, boy hints at feelings for girl, girl gets confused by feelings. I've read a few books like this and it sort of explains why I don't read a lot of chick lit books. I thought this one might be a bit different going by the title - I expected funny situations and maybe even for Skylar to not be afraid of her virginity.
If you like typical romance stories then you'll probably like this, for someone like me that was hoping for something a little different from the typical romance - I'd suggest you leave it alone.

Book Title: Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist!(Confessions #1)
Book Authors: Kay Marie
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 5 stars
Confession 1: I totally forgot which blogger blogged about book 2 of this series but I wanted to read them and was happy to find it on Kindle Unlimited.
Confession 2: Usually, I find these type of stories embarrassing. I tend to giggle, put a scarf over my face and quit reading. However, here, I found the story amusing. It was relatable. Lie to keep a job... I mean her lie was huge, but she strived to make it work. She didn't give up and learned more about herself. How she made a pretty Sandy from Grease and how she does know how to flirt and keep a handsome man attracted. It was a nice read.
Confession 3: I loved how each chapter started with a confession. Very creative and made me connect to the main character more. Nicely done.
Confession 4: I recommend this novel to eighteen and over and who like to read new adult contemporary romance works.

I read two chapters of this story half a year ago, realised it was part of a duology and that the second book wasn't out yet (This happens to me so often, it's not even funny anymore.) and put it aside despite loving every word I'd read. So I just knew this was a book I'd enjoy. Sadly, I think the start was the best part of the book.
Don't get me wrong, Confessions of a Virgin Sex Columnist! is a great book - funny and sweet and everything you can want in a great chicklit novel. I just thought it dragged on way too long. And the story continues in another book! Overkill, in my opinion. But that's what I feel about every contemporary book I read lately, so maybe it's me. Recommended to all chicklit lovers.

This is not new adult, it's more like young adult because everything seems very juvenile. The romance, conflict, and the freaking cliff hanger. Ah yes, the damn cliffhanger that I didn't know about, I really hate cliffhangers. Mostly because then I never want to pick up a book by that author.
Cutesy story, cutesy guy and girl, cutesy drama, no ending. That's it.

Mas que divertirme la personalidad de la protagonista termino estresándome.
April 14, 2017
This last month I've been reading books that have made me want to drop the microphone and just stop reading because no book can ever be that perfect again. I keep thinking, this is the world's most perfect book. No, this one is...this is the third one in a row that has made me think that. I'm almost afraid of never finding another book like it again.
The first thing I want to say about this book is that it is no way similar to Fifty Shades of Grey. The title made me think that it was that type of book, and I thought, oh no. But I was relived that I got through 10 percent...and actually I got to fifty percent the first night even though I was tired from working. That was how much it captivated me.
Skylar is a virgin sex columnist and this leads to some awkward situations. Her editor doesn't know that she's virgin. Her best friend ends up helping her with the articles. She's also been in denial about loving her best friend's brother for four years...and he ends up moving into their apartment one night.
I loved the characters. Oliver was probably my favorite one. I do have a few other favorite scenes, but I don't want to give away the entire book.
If you are looking for a cute, mostly clean romance book, this would be a good one. There were lots of scenes that actually had me giggling on my break at work, and the characters are relatable. They aren't as predictable
as they are in the usual chick literature books. It's a light, easy read.
Plus, that cover is so cute!
Don't judge a book by the title!
I found it through Kindle Unlimited and immediately grabbed the second one. I've also read this authors YA books under her other name. I actually want to buy the book so I can reread it again in the future.
I read somewhere that this book is perfect for Sophie Kinsella, Meg Cabot and Emily Giffin fans and she lived up to those expectations. It's a five star read for me.
The first thing I want to say about this book is that it is no way similar to Fifty Shades of Grey. The title made me think that it was that type of book, and I thought, oh no. But I was relived that I got through 10 percent...and actually I got to fifty percent the first night even though I was tired from working. That was how much it captivated me.
Skylar is a virgin sex columnist and this leads to some awkward situations. Her editor doesn't know that she's virgin. Her best friend ends up helping her with the articles. She's also been in denial about loving her best friend's brother for four years...and he ends up moving into their apartment one night.
I loved the characters. Oliver was probably my favorite one. I do have a few other favorite scenes, but I don't want to give away the entire book.
If you are looking for a cute, mostly clean romance book, this would be a good one. There were lots of scenes that actually had me giggling on my break at work, and the characters are relatable. They aren't as predictable
as they are in the usual chick literature books. It's a light, easy read.
Plus, that cover is so cute!
Don't judge a book by the title!

This is my first time reading Kay Marie's writing. It's fun and hilarious. People might be judging this title as an erotic genre but it was totally not! So do not judge the book by its title, OK!
I can say that I have mixed feelings while reading this. I laugh and shed tears. The storyline was pretty clear and I can predict much what is going to happen next but since I enjoy this story very much, I read it little by little. The language used was simple. Characters are too good to be true. HAHA!

I didn’t know this was a series when I started it. I think it would have been great if it were all in one book! I doubt I’ll read the next one, but I wish it all would have been wrapped up in this one. Besides that it was a cute, funny, light read. I’ve been reading a lot of heavy stuff so this was a nice change!
