Currently Reading: Loose Girl (a memoir of promiscuity) By: Kerry Cohen

I chose this book because, I can somewhat relate to the main character. It feels like I used to know this girl personally because I once had a friend that was a "loose girl ". Books usually have my best interest when I can understand what's going on and make a personal connection with the character

My Book Review: This book was basically about a girl that didnt have any attention or love in her home while she was growing up so she took it upon herself to find it elsewhere. She decided to find what she thought was "love" in different strange boys in men but in the end she came to realize that she made so many terrible mistakes. She wasn't givinge herself the respect she deserved but she was so hungry to feel loved that she thought the sex was the answer to all of her problems. Overall, i really enjoyed this book because i felt like i knew the main character personally, her ways reminded me of a girl i once knew. I definately recommend this book to females so they dont make the mistake and to also take of theirself mentally and phyiscally.

 * **Quotes, lines, or sentences, with Page number** || **Your thoughts, ideas, questions about the quote you chose** ||
 * "Sensual yet sophisticated....explores why people yearn to be loved" - Author ( on the cover of the book) || I think this quote is a short and sweet way of basically giving you knowledge about what the read is going to be about by introducing the novel. ||
 * "In the darkness, he touches me, his long, strong fingers moving across the surface of my skin, his breath hot and real near my ear." ( page.1) || I think this quote is simply a description of what's going on to also simbolize the pressure the character is feeling. ||
 * "I slept with close to forty boy and men before i figured out doing so was not serving me well." (page.5) || This quote is basically giving the reader background knowledge of the character and its obivious to me that this girl is lost and needy. ||
 * "Tom? Tim? Oh, wait, then there was that guy with the do. And the one who taking to me during sex..." (Page.2) || Again, this quote is the main character giving the readers background knowledge about her past realtionships. ||
 * "Of course, I confused their base interest with love. I needed to believe it meant something." (Page.3) || I think this quote is basically showing that the main character is confused about finding true love in all the right places." ||
 * "Boys have to put forth real effort to get laid, while all you have to do is stand braless and wind." || This quote is from the main characters thoughts about relations, she has a kind of psychological issue with the opposite sex, yet, she still remains having stray relationships. ||
 * "Don't Get Me Wrong. I dont't see myself as entirely innocent." (Page.3) || She's not ta king full blame for her actions but she does know that shes not perfect and she made a lot of mistakes. ||
 * "I look around the apartment.Beer cans and bottles are strewn around the floor and countertops, on the top of the stereo." ( Page 31) || This quote is another description of where the main character wakes up, which is somewhere unfamilar. ||
 * "Gym is the most embarrasing of high shcool classes. We have to change in the locker room in front of one another, everything revealed, heavy breast,thick hips, and unshaved legs." (Page 33) || This quote is showing how insecure she is about other people seeing her body.. but if she's so insecure i wonder why she's so quick to take off her close for a strange boy? (random thought) ||
 * "I put my shoes on, gather up the rest of my stuff. We say goodbye, and I can tell he is anxious for me to leave" || Noticing another mistake she has made. ||
