Read about another entry on the list.THE VIRGINS BY PAMELA ERENS
This novel tells the story of a boarding school and what happens when a young, sexy girl arrives.
All the boys assume she's had sex because of her provocative clothing and independence. She hasn't.
It's a lesson in appearances versus reality, and brings up the idea of slut-shaming.
But Aviva does eventually lose her virginity to Seung - but tragedy isn't far away.
The novel shows just how scary sexuality is to teens who are trying to figure out sex, combined with parental pressures.
A must-read for anyone who went to a boarding school.
Writers Read: Pamela Erens (March 2008).
--Marshal Zeringue
