- W4246364513 abstract "Reviewed by: Kiss It Karen Coats Downing, Erin. Kiss It. Simon Pulse, 2010. [288p.] Paper ed. ISBN 978-1-4169-9700-9 $9.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 9-12. High-school senior Chaz (short, ironically, for Chastity) is a wannabe sex kitten. That is, sex is all she thinks about and talks about, but she hasn't yet gotten around to doing it—if you don't count the disappointing quickie at her parents' Christmas party the previous year. Unfortunately, the guy she seduced for her first get-it-over-with time does count it, and he's been mooning over her ever since. Acceptable prospects in her small town are limited until Sebastian walks into the bar/restaurant where she works, and suddenly she's all a-tingle for a taste with no commitment. As she develops her fantasy connection with the flirtatious but closed-off Sebastian, her best friend, Sadie, who insists that sex must be accompanied by true love, finds out that she's pregnant. Sadie's predicament deepens both of their perspectives, but so does Chaz's relationship with Sebastian, which finally grows into something more than physical attraction; Chaz begins to see what Sadie has been talking about regarding the connection between wanting someone sexually and wanting to really know and be with them—a connection that is new to Sebastian as well. In the end, then, there are lessons to be learned, but they are definitely lessons for a girl and a guy unfettered by conventional moral convictions and fairy-tale notions of happily ever after. Indeed, this is a contemporary version of the book that Judy Blume wanted Forever to be—a book of good sex and good memories for an assertive girl who knows what she wants and goes after it with gusto and without apology.
