    I actually can't believe I read this one all the way through. The subject was kind of disgusting (at times for a person that works with high school boys and now is finding out what they might be thinkings!). The author approached teen sexuality from the perspective of three teen boys and their girlfriends and parents. Each chapter is told in the first person point-of-view from different characters. I like this because you get to know each of the characters better. I didn't feel like the book had a point except to give people the insite into what teenage boys are thinking and I'm not sure I needed that. Because I work at a high school I now have to wonder if this is the norm or the exception.
