    Del has had a crush on Kiera Westing since kindergarten. And now, during their junior year, she’s finally available. So when Kiera volunteers for an opportunity at their church, Del’s right behind her. Though he quickly realizes he’s inadvertently signed up for a Purity Pledge. His dad thinks his wires are crossed, and his best friend, Qwan, doesn’t believe any girl is worth the long game. But Del’s not about to lose his dream girl, and that’s where fellow pledger Jameer comes in. He can put in the good word. In exchange, Del just has to get answers to the Pledgers’ questions…about sex ed. With other boys circling Kiera like sharks, Del needs to make his move fast. But as he plots and plans, he neglects to ask the most important question: What does Kiera want? He can’t think about that too much, though, because once he gets the girl, it’ll all sort itself out. Right?

    4.5 (Muito bom)

    Livro divertido na medida certa e com apontamentos sociais muito legal. Gostei muito do reality check que o principal, Del, toma quanto ao machismo de todos a sua volta e inclusive dele mesmo. O livro aborda desde machismo, gravidez na adolescência a fanatismo religioso, mas sinto que pecou um pouco ao lidar com a pauta LGBT, senti que o personagem gay, Jameer, foi colocado ali de um primeiro momento com bastante importância, mas depois é esquecido, sem um final "bom". O principal consegue fazer a igreja da comunidade mudar totalmente, mas zero denunciar de abuso psicológico desse amigo gay pela a sua própria família. Achei o final bem irrealista, não que esteja reclamando, foi feliz pelo menos . E fico sempre contente quando um "casal" zero química realmente não fica junto só por ficar e tá tudo bem.
