I like Shut Out. 
 ***** 
 I'd never felt like this, like I wanted to climb into another person's skin. 
 BLUNT. 
 Shut Out is mediocre compared to Keplinger's The DUFF, but it still has its own merits. It showcased another round of sex-questioning issues that i found very interesting yet realistic. Truly, this is another book that has a no-holds-barred sex theme that subdues the notion of not FREELY talking about it. 
 Lissa is a hypocrite when her secret was divulged in the middle of the sex strike. It was irksome, and i cannot understand why she had the idea in the first place. Her OCD is relatable - it calms her when things get out of control. Cash is... endearing. Although i'm skeptic that he's a flirt and yet doesn't know anything about dating, he is really likeable. There are those Lissa-Cash moments that are supercharged with electricity! I love Chloe the most, among the characters. She's funny, feisty, and loyal. Those sex punchlines of hers are so hilarious! Chloe is as real as it gets. 
 Shut Out is a fun read to fill your time when you just want to have a good time reading. It fell short for me though, so i reread my fave scenes from The Duff after finishing Shut Out. Toinks!
