Great Book- Give it a break!
I loved this book. It was humorous yet serious, and had a great style of writing. It is however not very appropriate for younger readers as it does revolve around a teen girl's first experiences with a boyfriend, and what stems from said relationship [ie. sex]. That's not to say this book should be avoided- I thoroughly enjoyed Anatomy of a Boyfriend. Let's get real- our media, from the tv, to movies, to the internet is full of less-than-positive messages, especially concerning teens and sex. It's unfortunate, but it's true. Saying this book might act like a "how-to manual" is pretty far fetched- and it's not fair to ban a book or judge an author just because the material or subject matter is more mature. If anything, it's best to get over this fear that teens will lose all innocence from reading this, or books like it. Like it or not, we're growing and learning, and chances are, we know a lot more about this subject that you know, or would like. That's life. And it's rather refreshing to know that there are authors out there who write books that are real. That are about life. That aren't overly cheesy and unrealistic. The message? Just make sure that it's the appropriate age level and you'll be sure to have a great read.

This book was REALLy good. Yes they talk about sex and stuff but it gives you her point of view and it doesn't give a fairy tale ending, but it's a hopeful ending showing that this world isn't perfect.

Put yourself in your kids place
This Review is from a 14 year olds respective. This book is amazing and its really funny. The reason i put Educational is because in some ways it is. I mean, kids my age and mabye even younger are going to have sex (Sometimes it could be pressure or just curiosity) and this book gives them examples, help, and facts about it. I think all kids my age should read this book. Teens/Kids are always curious, this book will tell them all they need to know. This book is real, just like life.

Anatomy of a Boyfriend is a great coming of age book. It gives girls an inside view of what a high school relationship can be like. It's a good book for girls 12 and up. i read it at age 13 and have loved it ever since. It has helped me to pick my relationships and what i do with them wisely. It shows that not all relations ships work out like a fairly tale.

I laughed,i cried,Overall Great Book!
This has been one of my favortive boos i have read. It is so real lif and most of us can relate to it.Reders under 14 shouldn;t read it though because it does describe sexual things in detail but for older teens most of us have done some or most of this.I hated the ending though it made me cry.

The power of Sex/ fist love
This book defitley shows how powerful sex really is. And how rushing into things aren't good. It is beautifully- and descriptly- written. I recommend it to teenagers, because it has a sex in it.
