REVIEW: Virgin by Radhika Sanghani

In Virgin by Radhika Sanghani, Ellie is an almost university grad who is also a 21 year old virgin. One bad experience as a teenager has made her very self conscious, and she’s sure that everyone can tell by looking at her that she’s still a virgin. Instead of having fun in her final university year, Ellie is focused on her virgin status and determined to lose it before the end of the school year. The problem is that she can’t find anyone to lose it to. She’s not even that picky anymore, but she feels that since everyone can probably tell she’s still a virgin, it’s scaring guys away.

Between school, friendships and virginity, Ellie has a lot going on in her life, but finally, she meets a young man who might just be the one! From there she must embark on a bigger journey of self discovery and acceptance.

Virgin is fast paced, well written and has a lot of laugh out loud moments! I really liked how Ellie finally started to mature, because she was a character who was starting to drive me crazy with her fixation on losing her virginity. Although very repetitive with the main focus on Ellie and her virginity, I did enjoy Radhika’s realistic descriptions and attention to detail. Ellie has turmoil not only in her mind, but with her best friend too, and I liked how this relationship and others were part of Virgin. I really like how this young group of people are very accepting of their sexuality, their openness, and how there was no judging.This is refreshing, and a positive example of how far society has come with the acceptance of sexuality.

If want to be entertained and enjoy new adult stories, I would recommend Virgin to you.

Okay, I admit it…I didn’t do it.

Yet.

This is normal, right? I mean, just because everyone I know has talked like they’ve already done it doesn’t mean that they’re telling the truth…right?

It’s not like I’m asking for that much. I don’t need the perfect guy. I don’t need candlelight or roses. Honestly, I don’t even need a real bed.

The guys I know complain that girls are always looking for Mr. Right—do I have to wear a sign that says I’m only looking for Mr. Right Now?

Sooooo…anyone out there want sex? Anyone? Hello? Just for fun?

I am not going to die a virgin. One way or another I am going to make this happen.

Hey, what have I got to lose? Besides the obvious.
