There’s a great line where she says she wishes she could ditch her virginity without having to bother with the sex part, because it’s the label more than anything that’s getting on her nerves. She’s simply a 20-something virgin who is getting increasingly stressed about the situation, to the point that she wants, both literally and figuratively, to take the matter in hand.

One thing I appreciated was that there’s nothing (much) wrong with Bliss. The cover makes it look like the story will be hot, and the blurb does nothing to dispel this idea. This is a book I was expecting to start with a bang (sorry!) and progress from there. Cue embarrassment, secrets, lies, hidden encounters, misunderstandings and all the other essential ingredients of a Rom-com. It’s all very Season 1 Episode 1 of Grey’s Anatomy, and in a good way. They trot off home and things seem to be going well until, the morning after the night before, Bliss finds herself in class meeting her replacement professor. Garrick is a typical Englishman – you can tell from his typical English name, can’t you? And Bliss is smitten. Is that all it takes? But that’s beside the point. Oh, and unsurprisingly he’s yakking away with a British accent. A passion for Shakespeare, naturally (so much so that he’s reading in a bar, sitting alone having a drink). And it’s time to change that.Įnter Garrick from stage left. About to graduate at the end of the year, Bliss has made it through college without one key college experience: sex.

She’s determined to get Bliss out there, because that’s not where Bliss normally is. She’s also not the type to pick up random men in bars, but that’s exactly what she does as the book starts.
