Seventeen-year-old Lacey Burke is the last person on the planet who should be doling out sex advice. For starters, she’s never even kissed anyone, and she hates breaking the rules. Up until now, she's been a straight-A music geek that no one even notices. All she cares about is jamming out with her best friends, Theo and Evita.
But then everything changes.
When Lacey sees firsthand how much damage the abstinence-only sex-ed curriculum of her school can do, she decides to take a stand and starts doling out wisdom and contraception to anyone who seeks her out in the girls' restroom. Meanwhile, things with Theo have become complicated, and soon Lacey is not just keeping everyone else’s secrets, but her own as well.
The whole time I was reading this, I had this song from a butter (?) commercial stuck in my head. Where there's a bee singing about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above and then he came across a dish of butter that had all kinds of weird stuff added and honestly I am beginning to think that commercial was one big fever dream but yeah.
Anyway, to go back to this book - it was an alright book. Somehow I had thought that the main character, Lacey, was the asexual character in this because of the ace flag being so prominent on the cover, but I was quickly disappointed. Especially when I realised that I did not like the ace character in this book at all. [spoiler]I totally get still having a crush on your ex, but shitting on his current girlfriend, the girl *you* introduced to him in the first place is just NOT THE WAY TO GO SIS.[/spoiler]
Yeah idk this book just didn't really resonate with me, it felt more like a typical contemporary book which is not something I usually like (but yeah I make exceptions for books that feature prominent asexual/aromantic characters).
