Sex Ed

I ran across this book on my Hoopla app. I decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed. Ed reminds me of myself in a way. He was socially awkward. He was a good man but people saw him as weird. This story was funny and romantic also. I can not wait to read more of the books Kristen has written.

Fun With Sex. My god this review is going to get me on so many porn bot radars, isn't it? But the title here really fits - starting with the very title of the book, "Sex Ed".... which then features a 28yo virgin named Ed being taught about sex by his wildchild best friend. The friends to lovers trope is in perfect display here, the friendship and trust there deeply established... until we get into Hallmarkie level drama at the exact point in the story you expect Hallmarkie level drama in a romcom. We even have the "interesting grandparent" trope hitting and hitting well, as well as some sisterly bonding. And yes, there is a lot of sex, pretty much all of it "on screen". So if you're not a fan of that... maybe the title here (of the book and/ or review) clued you in that this isn't the best book for you? Speaking of the sex, while not necessarily the "oh my God this is nuclear hot" type found in some other works, this was more of the playful variety that to my mind is just as important in a relationship and doesn't always get the attention it deserves in romcom books in particular. So kudos to Ms. Bailey for going that direction with it, it was clearly an inspired choice. Overall a fun tale that will offend few other than those actively looking to be offended, great for both fans of romcoms and for those looking for some level of a "palate cleanser" from darker tales. Very much recommended.
