Wow, I can't believe it took me this long to finish Shut Out but perhaps it's because I couldn't get into the story. It's interesting that Kody Keplinger decided to do a modern retelling of Lysistrata but I don't think I'll be reading any more of her books because they have too many references to sex, or they're all about sex. 
 Don't get me wrong, her books definitely have a realistic and gritty feel to them but it seems like everything about her books is on sex. Take Shut Out for example. In the beginning, I did like our female heroine, Lissa. She has a noble idea, to end the rivalry between the football and the soccer teams, and decided to organize a sex strike. In the meantime, she has to contend with her controlling issues, a boyfriend who's quite the Neanderthal and another guy who might like her as more than just a friend. But as the story progresses, all she can think about is the sex strike and which team (boys vs girls) is going to cave first. I find her a little bit hypocritical as well. She's hurt by the names some guys call her, but turns around and becomes EXACTLY just that. 
 This book is just sex, sex, sex, sex and more sex; it's not even funny anymore. 
 And then the ending! How convenient and predictable! A pity, really.
