Even Bridget Joness Diary could take a page from this novel."*Joan Rivers
Okay, I admit it
I didnt do it.
Yet.
This is normal, right? I mean, just because everyone I know has talked like theyve already done it doesnt mean that theyre telling the truth
right?
Its not like Im asking for that much. I dont need the perfect guy. I dont need candlelight or roses. Honestly, I dont even need a real bed.
The guys I know complain that girls are always looking for Mr. Rightdo I have to wear a sign that says Im 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.

Synopsis
If the women on Sex and the City got dates on a daily basis, and even the more normal-looking girls on Girls, then why wasn t I? If I wanted to live the fun, twentysomething life I was destined to live, I was going to have to up my game.
Ellie used to be a virgin, but now she s a woman with sexual experience. Well, some sexual experience. She also has debt, an unpaid magazine internship, and three flatmates who left her with the single room to match her single status.
That s okay. She doesn t want a boyfriend anyway she wants several. And if the sex is exciting enough, her ruthless magazine-editor boss can exploit her dating life for a column.
But after countless hookups and forced attempts at seeming sexy backfire, Ellie starts to witness the emotional wreckage she s leaving in her wake. Turns out that sex can be hard and there s a downside to giving it up too easy "
