Seventeen-year-old Mercedes Ayres has an open-door policy when it comes to her bedroom, but only if the guy fulfills a specific criteria: he has to be a virgin. Mercedes lets the boys get their awkward fumbling first times over with, and all she asks in return is that they give their girlfriends the perfect first time-the kind Mercedes never had herself.Keeping what goes on in her bedroom a secret has been easy – so far. Her mother isn’t home nearly enough to know about Mercedes’ extracurricular activities, and her uber-religious best friend, Angela, won’t even say the word “sex” until she gets married. But Mercedes doesn’t bank on Angela’s boyfriend finding out about her services and wanting a turn – or on Zach, who likes her for who she is instead of what she can do in bed.When Mercedes’ perfect system falls apart, she has to find a way to salvage her own reputation -and figure out where her heart really belongs in the process. Funny, smart, and true-to-life, Laurie Elizabeth Flynn’s Firsts is a one-of-a-kind young adult novel about growing up.

The first thing I need to say is: the author did an awesome job! The way she dealt with this topic is incredible. I was afraid , because I have read books by authors about this topic that just…well let’s say did not convince me.

Because of that I wasn’t sure what to think about this blurb first, so I tried to look at this book as objective as possible. But I didn’t need to be afraid.An awesome book with awesome characters, a very interesting story-line -glued to each other with a very good writing-style. I especially want to point out Mercedes as se is a character I won’t forget that easily.

This books provokes all the emotions I am searching for in a book. Thanks for accepting our request!
