Mercedes Aryes has a secret: a secret that has helped several teenage boys out. She provides a special service to take their virginity and teach them how to please their girlfriends. But of course things spiral out of control for Mercedes the deeper she gets involved.

Let me start by saying that I hate YA books that glorify promiscuity and every teen has a thousand sexual relationships. Maybe I'm just a prude, but I certainly wasn't sleeping around in high school, or in adulthood for that matter. And if you are sleeping around with 15+ guys, did you really think word would never get out? Honey, high school doesn't work that way. And the whole business with what happened to her when she 13 (no spoilers, I promise) made me roll my eyes. Let's just add to the drama, why don't we? I understand that no girl should be bullied about her sex life, that it's her business, but things were definitely overdramatic. Who even does that?
