Purity

Rate this book
What happens when a virgin raised in purity culture asks her gorgeous, player best friend to take her V-card?

I’ve been in love with Cole Walker since the first day he walked into class and sat beside me. How could I not? Six foot five, gorgeous, and a sweetheart to boot. He’s charming enough to get any girl he wants.

The plan was to make him fall in love with me, get married, and give him all my firsts.

Too bad for me, he’s never once looked at me that way. Brought up in purity culture, I don’t know how to flirt. I’ve been stuck in the friend-zone for years.

It’s time to move on and start living my life. This summer, I’m going to ask him to take my V-card with no strings attached.

But when I tell Cole my request, his reaction is not what I expect. He’s furious and over-the-top protective. He won’t touch me, but apparently no one else can either? It doesn’t make any sense.

Until we share a kiss that makes the world stand still, and I begin to wonder…maybe I’ve misread him all along.

Heroine is a complete and utter doormat while the hero is a manwhore who has sex with countless OW while supposedly being in love with her the whole time. He even attempts to have sex with OW after he and the heroine have passionately made out (it gets interrupted with OW for external reasons but they still kiss, etc).

This story could have worked for me...i.e. virginal heroine and manwhore hero who've secretly always loved each other...if the heroine wasn't also the pursuer in the book!!! Early on in the story, she's practically begging him to be the one that takes her virginity. I'm so embarrassed for her honestly.

Literally, the heroine has an "impurity list" of sexual goals she wants to accomplish by the end of the summer, as well as another goal of getting over her longtime love for her best friend (hero). But despite her wish to get over the hero (Cole), she also wants him to be the one to take her sexual firsts, including her first kiss and virginity??? It makes no sense? Why would you want to have sexual contact with someone you're trying to get over?? And why give him that when he's been an absolute manwhore for years and never expressed interest??

When she asks him to be the one that takes her virginity, he is about to say no...so she basically starts begging him and then finally asks him to think about it for longer. Not only that, but after he agrees to kissing her and they make out...she goes home all excited and he immediately finds OW to hook up with. Just so pathetic of her honestly.

Yeah anyways...this book is just not worth it. Not to mention you really have to suspend your disbelief for how dumb the heroine is; she doesn't even talk like a normal person.

It's not my fault.

BookTok did this to me. I'm not sure why it chose to do me this way or what I may have done to warrant this sort of treatment but nonetheless, here I am. Again.



I was told it was kinky.



I believe my definition of "kinky" and BookTok's definition have a bit of a... difference of opinion.

I can deal with it not being super spicy as long as the story is good. Unfortunately... these two protagonists like the sound of their own voices more than I did.

[image error]


They talk to themselves. They talk to each other. They talk to their friends.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of using your words but these words much of the time are just circular reasoning that frankly wore me the fuck out. They are professionals at making mountains out of molehills and that too wore me the fuck out.

*cough*

*cough*

What's even worse is both Cole and Livvy read like fake plastic people. I can't connect to fake plastic people!

I did finish it though so I'll be generous and give it 2 stars, however my opinions are always my own. YMMV.

Why do all virgin heroines get paired with the worst piece of shit men that sleep around????!!!!
Love the premise of this book - the execution, not so much

The whole idea of this young woman realising how disgusting and toxic purity culture is and finding herself is an incredible idea for a book and its friends to lovers - you would think I would eat this up -
but no

There are two big problems with this
One - the impurity contact and how they approach this whole thing.
They insinuate that not having done all these different things like getting drunk, having your first kiss etc is bad.
The author insinuates that you have to drink and do all these things to have fun.
You can drink and party and not drink and party and both ways can be fun for different people.
Also, the way everyone gets involved and acts like she's so innocent and they have to treat her like she's glass - ewwww
Just because someone is a virgin and doesn't have any sexual experience doesn't mean they're fragile glass.
Also, the number of times everyone called her innocent was so weird.

The second thing is Cole - god I hated him - not one good thing to say about him.
I'm supposed to root for him ?????
I fucking hated him.
He was the absolute worst piece of hypocritical shit.
I did NOT ship him with her at all.
You would think, the whole set-up of them being really good friends and him always being protective but no he is so annoying.

They kiss, her first kiss ever, they both loved it, he has all these feelings for her and you know what this fucking piece of shit does??! He goes out and finds ANOTHER girl that looks like her and hooks up with her and he was gonna have sex with her until she realises that she's actually slept with his sleezebag cheating dad.
What the fuck???
You're telling I'm supposed to root for this asshole??!! - no

After Livvy and Cole have sex he says some of the worst shit and when they talk about it a few days later his dumb ass blames his parent's marriage and thinks he could never be her for his stupid actions and for sleeping around and bringing girls around her. Give me a break.
She was his doormat and even tho she spoke facts and confronted him she still took him back - girl STAND UP!!!!!
At no point did I think he was redeemable or likeable and I don't think she should've ended up with him at all. This should've ended with her single and going to her last year of college.

I'm not Christian nor religious and I think the whole purity thing is horrid. The way her dad cried and said she was not a 'little girl' anymore - I wanted to vomit
But this book did a horrid job of talking about it and dismantling it.

Anyways don't waste y'alls time

3.5 ⭐ Read this book if you’ve been traumatized by purity culture and you enjoy spicy romance.


What to expect:

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Friends-to-lovers
⛪️ FMC: short, curvy, rebels against Purity Culture
🕺 MMC: tall, experienced, and protective
🌸 Loss of virginity
✋ No one touched you but me
🔥 Kinks: good girl, primal play, light BDSM
❤️ HEA


I absolutely adore Livvy and Cole. They’re so sweet and seeing them grow together and separately is a real treat. Not sure I truly believe someone like Livvy and Cole would have been friends while she was buying into purity culture because Cole was a man-ho and there is a lot of judgment towards that when you’re a part of the evangelical church. But I like to believe this friendship would have been possible for some lucky souls.

Also, Mari was the best!!! I wish I had a friend like her when I was breaking free of purity culture.


What I loved most about the book is how it addresses the toxicity of purity culture. Body shaming, self-depreciation, slut shaming, religious guilt, and manipulation, are just a few of the toxic traits of purity culture. This is everything I’ve personally experienced from religious friends and family, so I really related to Livvy and Mari. #youarenotalone 💕 Legit, so many conversations that Livvy has with her family and friends are almost the same, word for word, to ones I’ve had with religious friends and family.

Honestly, this book just makes me feel seen. Seriously, reading this story was therapeutic because it reflects many of my own experiences being raised in an evangelical home and the journey I found myself on during college to unlearn those toxic beliefs and form my own. I honestly am so happy Skyler wrote this story because so many of us women have been negatively affected by purity culture and it’s lovely seeing Livvy embark on her own path to healing and discovery. 💕


So thank you Skyler for giving a voice to people like me who can relate. And thanks for sending me an arc copy! As always, all opinions are my own.

I shouldn't be saying this about my book babies, but Purity is by far my favorite of all of them. I wrote this book from the depth of my soul. I had to dive into my religious trauma, bathe in it for a while, and then let my characters speak it out of me in a way that often took me by surprise.

Okay, that makes this book sound like a tough hang, and it's not at all. My loves, Purity is so much fun!! It's full of some of my favorite tropes:
-A simp of a MMC who is madly in love with the FMC but in deep denial about it.
-A Jane Bennet style FMC whose tragic flaw is that she gives too much of herself and doesn't ask for what she wants. Watching her overcome this is SO satisfying!
-A MMC who loses his mind when his shy, sweet, never been kissed best friend finally starts to break out of her shell and flirt with his friends
-A dom who likes to say "good girl" a lot
-Primal k*nk
-TONS of mutual pining
-An extremely jealous and possessive MMC (we all know that this is my fictional man k*nk)

Okay, I could literally go on forever, but those are the main points. Feel free to ask me questions in the comments!

📕 Finding it very hard to like this heroine right now. “No” means “no” when a woman says it but not when a man says it? Nothing pretty or sexy about a h who doesn’t take no for an answer; a heroine who is so blinded by her own issues that she can’t see how uncomfortable the H is with her constant begging for sex. No matter what her reasons are, her coming on to him while he is clearly rejecting her, is off putting.

❌Maybe it’s a “me, not you” thing 🤷‍♀️

Self note with spoilers

So, I have seen that the parents are going to have a book. I’m in shock. A part of me wants to read it but another is so scared. He cheated on her for years after she had a ons with her ex boyfriend. I would want to see if he is able to redeem himself after all the cheating. Especially the one in their house in their bed with a girl of the same age as his son (the H of purity)
It’s going to be a duet so, I hope to see some major grovel and maybe she moving with her life a little bit, maybe find OM (or ex boyfriend) IMAGINE A REUNION BETWEEN H AND OM

I love friends to lovers. I appreciate and adore that someone attempted to write a book that targetted and adressed how toxic purity culture could be. What I don't love is the need to go to a complete different extreme to prove a point.

I understand that for this main chracter, she needed to rebel and go outside the scope of her usual life. I understand that, and I can respect that. My issue is that she forced herself to do things that she didn't necessarily seem comfortable with, and I'm not sure I like the message that sends. But, I digress. My issue had nothing to do with her purity contract and her commentary on purity culture. I appreciated the refreshing honesty that purity culture IS toxic.

I didn't appreciate that it switched out one toxic way of thinking for another. It's okay that she chose to have sex before marriage. I make no judgement there. But, with the way that it is discussed, it makes it sound like any person who did grow up in purity culture and still choses to abstain from sex until marriage is somehow less evolved in their faith and still buying in to toxic thought processes. It isn't always about that. Sometimes it is a personal choice not bred from shame but instead a decision for oneself. It doesn't have to have anything to do with your "future spouse". You can make the decision for you and someone who does so should not be shamed and pitied for "buying into a toxic culture".

I am all for saying screw you to purity culture. I am all for the ginormous fuck you that this novel gives to a culture and a movement that feeds off making young girls find their worth in their purity and shame when they do anything that might threaten that.

But, at the same time, I cannot sit back and be condemned for making a personal choice just because it aligns with that of a terrible movement.

I also cannot sit back and appreciate or provide a positve book rating for a book that regularly associates and construes submissiveness or agreeableness with weakeness. Nothing about that is weak. Caring for others even when one is hurting is not weak. Putting others above yourself is not weak. There should not be a shame in being a demure and agreeable person who does not always speak their minds and give tongue lashings.

And one should certainly never celebrate a heroine who, in the process of trying to prove she wasn't "weak", acts in a toxic manner towards the person she supposedly loves. I understand not wanting to cave to another person's will. I understand wanting to make them earn your love. But when a person is clearly going through hell, and has laid their heart wide open for you, and you know good and well what you want from them, it is not okay for you to make them jump through hoops.

We need to protect our male leads with the same ferocity that we would protect our female leads. We cannot call out a toxic male lead and allow the same behaviors to be considered cute or healthy when a female lead performs them.

5⭐️’s
3.5🌶️’s

I absolutely loved this book! It was quick easy read and I loved Livvy and Cole so much! This book talks about purity culture( hence the name) and growing up as a Christian I related so much to this. Now, I was never introduced into purity culture however, I was taught that I should wait for my first time to be with my husband and dress modestly. Growing up like that really does change your perspective of sex and how you dress yourself. I grew up with my mom telling me to wait until marriage because that’s what the Bible says, but telling children they are going to go to hell if they slip up is toxic and so not true. We are all sinners. Period that’s it. Doesn’t make God love is any less.

I loved how this book talked about that culture and how it shaped her as an adult growing up like that. I also loved his perspective of being an atheist, but respecting her wishes for choosing to save everything for marriage. This was just an amazing experience I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.

I received ARC for this book and hoped for a lot of possessive moments... i end up DNF, because i just could not go further. I skimmed to sex scene and even after that i was like.. nope.
If you can look past how double standards major man-ho H is and how it is brought up SO SO many times .. then it is okay book. h says to H when they are young, that she would date ONLY christian. And ofc H is ruled out. So they both pine for each other. Over the last year h has second thoughts... and decides she can date a NON christian.
Like it is somewhat okay, that he sleeps around - because there was no hope to be with h (h told him so herself) and he wants to forget- BUT why did he do it so open? why did he bring countless OWs around his big love h? Make out with them in front of her? Later in the book he says to h about all the OWs around her "but you never acted jealous" ..

I really don't like the i-have-loved-you-for-years-but-i-f-everybody-else. h is pure ofc, but dreams about H and marriage to him, but at the same time 4 out of 5 years she thought she could only have Christian husband.
From h-s talk to her friends it is clear she knows ALL about H and many many women and even H talks to her about it (it is said h does want to hear about her friends or H escapades in detail and stops them from talking) ? Even his mother mentions his "lady friends"and asks if he has a lady over . h friends call him "fuck boy". H says "i've brought women around her countless times".
Why is it mentioned every few pages one way or another - how ho H is?


h ask him to take her V, H says he has to think. Has her first kiss with him. I HATED how few hour later H is so I-cant-have-her-must-F-another-chick- fast .. and goes out and picks up a OW. Makes out with her in the Uber on way back to his home and only fails to go all the way, because turned out OW eff his dad in his house and OW pulls a stop. He so easily would f someone else, even when he knows h wants to have sex with him. He does not know about h feelings, but still.

Now.. if H would NOT had romantic or lust feelings for h for years, or would have been celibate or SUPER discrete about it.. i would have liked him .. maybe. Why does he has to be so open and in everybody face about his manho ways?

I’ve seen you with women you want. You’re touchy. You can’t keep your hands off them, and you never touch me. At least, not normally.”

*
After sex he says he does not believe in monogamy
*
"I've basically been your girlfriend for all these years, all while you got to sleep with countless other women, but you would hate it if I slept with other guys. And you know you’ll try to intervene in the name of ‘protectiveness’.”

I really can't stand the female protagonist, she's so stupid.

Basically she is a Christian girl who realizes that she need a change in the way she is livin her live. So far fine. So she make a to do list with impure things se wants to do within 3 months.

It happens that her best friend, a manwhore who has been in love with her since they met, comes back to town, and she is gonna ask him to take her virginity.

It turns out that Cole, aka the manwhore, is traumatized with some family stuff and is afraid of commitment. So he rejects her offer because he don't want to lose their friendship.

It pisses me off that after he told her that, she was only thinking like "oh, I'm sure I'm going to make him change his mind and want to be with me".

And then when they finally had sex, she throw to his face that she loves him and they should had a relationship, and when he said no because it wont work, She just tell him they couldn't be friends anymore! because he broke her heart! And leave the house! ¡Ten minutes after telling him she loved him! Naked! Yes naked!!

It doesn't pisses me off that she felt that he broke her heart. I just don't understand the fact that she is mad with him for not overcoming his fears in ten minutes, when she did not change her way of seeing her life and living it in that amount of time. That she didn't leave him time to assimilate anything.

Then when he said he loves her, she said it is only because he is afraid of losing her, and leave his house.

Then she make him wait until she feels ready and know for sure that he want to be with her, because she is tired of waiting him to be ready to date her for years.
When she literally told him, for all those years, that she will only date a Cristian guy!!!!!!!
When he is not Cristian at all!!!!

Yeah, I don't like her.

But i quite like the hot part though.

Edit 12/sep/22:
I saw a tiktok of someone recommending this book and i was about to comment how much i dislike her books and that this one is trash and then i check the username, IT WAS THE AUTHORS ACCOUNT, thank god I didn’t say anything. Im a mean bitch but not that mean.


Og review:

Heroine is a doormat that says she isn’t but in the end is and the hero is a jerk, he says he is overprotective but he actually just wants her in a little cage all for himself, they even say that point a bunch of times in the book to him and many times by the heroine but it just vanishes by the end?

I seriously need to tattoo Skyler Mason’s name (the Author) in my brain because I absolutely despise all of her books and i never realise they are by her until i come to goodreads to complain about them.

All her books have these absolutely horrible male leads and the heroines always put a front that they are “independent” of them are wont take their shit, in her books they point out every reason why the relationship wont and shouldn’t work and also how horrible the male lead is and somehow by 80% this is all forgotten. We get to the main 3/4 drama and right after heroine goes back to being a doormat and gets back with the male lead.

Her books themselves aren’t bad at all, they are well written and have potential. Thats why I’ve fallen for them 3 times already however they always go back to the same issue and throw all the progress the heroine has made throughout the book to the trash by the end of it.

I should be less harsh but someone has to tell this author that her books would be way better if she either lets the heroines be single by the end of the book and not go back to their asshole boyfriends or WRITE A DECENT MALE LEAD THAT ISNT TRASH. Its not that hard.

I thought my faith in TikTok recs couldn't get any lower, but here we are lmao 💀💀.

I thought it would be really interesting to read a book that addressed purity culture, within a genre that often tends to stray towards the more virginal/innocent characters- so I thought this had the potential to be really good.

But it wasn't 💀💀- let me explain.

There were two main aspects to the story:
- The heroine's self reflection
- The romance

I don't think either one of the two was good enough/ thorough enough to make the book worthwhile. The more that I read, the more underwhelming it became.

The book started off at a point where the characters had pretty much independently been in love with each other, throughout the entirety of their childhood- but we didn't get to see ANY of that.

And similarly, with the h and her arc, the story started off at a point where she wanted to break out of that 'purity' mindset- but we didn't get to see ANY of the initial thought processes behind it, but were rather thrust into 'the big epiphany of her character'- which legitimately took away from the whole concept behind this book?

So already, immediately into the story (we're talking first-page basis)- there was that lack of context and drive, which made it hard to want to keep going.

I just felt like I was missing something- because although the writing wasn't necessarily bad, the story was just really surface-level. And when considering the fact that there wasn't really a plot behind this book, that just didn't make sense to me.

Let's talk about the characters:

I didn't like the heroine- I hated how she put words into the H's mouth, and always got out of the situation with tears, or just generally making him feel bad?

I understand that her character was supposed to find herself, and grow- but I just didn't care enough about her? I couldn't relate to her, and just disliked the majority of her interactions with everyone.

There really wasn't any progress made with her character- and I don't really know what else to say. I thought that there was a lot of potential, but her thought process was just really repetitive and borderline unlikeable, after a certain point?

I mean, at least she was self-aware at times:

h: ''You’re too dependent on me emotionally, and I’m too much of a doormat with you.

H: “You’re not a doormat!''

I don't know why, but this line just made me crack up, because of how comical and goofy the exclamation mark felt. Like why are you lying 💀💀💀☝️☝️.

I don't really know how I feel about the H. I liked his character, but he just wasn't developed enough😭? I genuinely don't know anything about him aside from his daddy issues and weird, unexplainable infatuation with the heroine.

In terms of the side characters, it was alright?? I wasn't really attached to any of them, and there were a lot of unresolved characters/ storylines that sort of annoyed me, but let's move on.

---


In relation to the romance I'm so disappointed 😭😭. The childhood friends-to-lovers was done SO dirty. There was no information/content to back up any of their feelings for each other.

Because it's so easy to say that these characters have undeniable chemistry, and state that they're attracted to each other, but I wanted to SEE it.

All we saw was a lot of already existing, unexplainable feelings for each other (they were legitimately already in love with one another when the book started). So there wasn't anywhere to go.

It was just a lot of brooding, and hiding it from each other that they had feelings- and then BAM, the sudden switch, where everything's suddenly fine. And a lot of their dialogue was so awkward pls.

I think I just read 200 pages of nothing 💀💀☝️- genuinely nothing happened 😭😭. I liked the concept, but I just wanted more from it.

Alright, I'll stop there. I wanted to like this but sadly did not 💀.

Normally, I’m not an ARC reader, but received this one through a FB giveaway. And was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, particularly since I avoid anything NA like the plague.

The author takes an interesting risk with this one.

It’s an awakening story, a girl realizing her strict evangelical Christian upbringing has stifled her and not in a good or realistic way. She’s giving up her Purity Contract for an impure one, a checklist of normal college activities that she has avoided because at 13 she promised to do so.

She and her best friend have had a strange relationship for 4 years. Basically boyfriend/girlfriend without a real relationship. She’s on a shelf, and well, he is not. This may annoy some readers but honestly, it feels necessary to the storyline.

My only real complaint is the story pacing feels a little off and the ending is definitely rushed. The giveaway epilogue really needs to be part of the storyline to pull it all together.

3.5 stars rounding up because I like that the author took the risk and the heroine never lost her faith.

I am perplexed by this book. Although, with its length, considers to be more a novella, this book is a monstrosity.

From puritanical virgin to primal sex kitten, Livvy’s story has allowed me expand the repertoire of smut I’ve consumed into a realm I could have lived without knowing existed.

Though I would have expected this on Wattpad, it being a published novel is what perplexes me. But then again, I read it, so what do I really know.

What I do know is that, as someone who isn’t particularly religious, this book must be the devil incarnate bc it almost sent me to church. I’m not sure even holy water could cleanse the images eternally burned into my dungeon of a mind.

Read at your own risk, angels hehe

I always know when Skyler Mason puts out a new book that I’ll need it. Crave it. Love it. Become obsessed with it. And I can confirm, this one did not disappoint. At all.

As always, her characters are real. Their problems are real. They live like normal people. So it’s so easy to fall in love with her writing.

Livvy is the sweetest, most docile character Mason has ever written. She’s strong and resilient, but most importantly she’s becoming herself, which is all anyone ever hopes to accomplish.
Cole is DEFINITELY Mason’s more risqué character, and I LOVE that she wasn’t afraid to showcase sexual desires in this book. (I WISH you could see my highlights, but alas, I will not be sharing them with you 😉) Cole is stubborn and delusional when it comes to his own feelings. He’s had a rough example of what “love” looks like. Which was incredibly relatable for me.

This whole book gave me all kinds of feels, and made me feel scene. And not just in the FMC, but also the MMC. It’s a fantastic read, and I’ll be screaming about it for a WHILE.
