The Accidental Virgin
Valerie Frankel
Avon A, 2003
Everyone kept asking what I was reading!
I read this book a couple of summers ago, it was during a timeframe when I visited the beach almost daily. I laughed so hard and so often that everyone wanted to know what I was reading! I loved this book, it's light-hearted, funny, and made me smile.
