 Review copy provided for an honest review 
 Well, the title pretty much summed it up. 
 Twenty-one year old university student Ellie is on a mission. Her goal? To "punch her V-card". Her motivation? To be able to have her doctor remove the "virgin" label from the sexual activity status on her medical chart. To be able to qualify to take the chlamydia test at the doctor's office since she's actually having sex. To be able to play a game of "Never Have I Ever" and actually drink to any of the sex related questions. 
 However, her failure to lose her virginity has nothing to do with lack of trying. Ellie is not being picky. Pretty much anyone will do. She has been trying to lose it since she was seventeen with no luck, but now, as she is about to graduate from university and technically become an adult, she becomes obsessed with the need to get rid of her "V-plates". 
 This book definitely had potential. Along the lines of "Girls" and "Sex and the City", it featured a group of women sharing their sexual exploits, embarrassing moments and all. But I couldn't help but feel that this book missed the mark on several levels. Ellie was overly awkward, to the point where I wondered how this girl functioned in everyday life. A bikini wax became as treacherous as braving the Amazon (and left her looking like a German dictator landed on her hoo ha), buying a box of condoms was a major ordeal, and performing oral sex was a highly dangerous endeavor on her partner. As the main character, I found Ellie to be too desperate, too needy and frankly, too clueless to be likeable. Her friends Emma and Lara were infinitely more sympathetic as they were depicted as normal people. Ellie was some sort of drama queen/comic relief that would have possibly worked if I found her even remotely funny, and I found the revelations that she tried to impart to be a bit irresponsible: "Embrace any STD's you may or may not have..." Ok. 
 Then we have the conversations between the friends. Perhaps my girlfriends and I were not as open as Ellie and hers were, but some of these conversations just did not need to take place. Over how many chapters can one person wax on (no pun intended) about pubic hair! Do we really need a blog on the subject?? Imagine Samantha from Sex and the City having a conversation with Carrie. Now make her clueless, inexperienced and easily disgusted, and you will have Ellie. 
 Despite all of these comments, I did actually find the writing of this book to be very readable. However, I just found the main character to be childish and unsympathetic. I think the author was going for comedy, but it was like watching a bad comedian struggling on stage. I felt awkward and uncomfortable, was embarrassed for them, wished it would stop, and found myself being more turned off than anything else.
