Hilarious! Ok Ok.... I know what you people are thinking...... why the hell I am reading this book. I found this book on a ½ price bargain.  So thought, let’s give a try... and have some sort of insight girls have on this topic and the extent they can go for sex.  This is a light hearted book and it’s really fun reading this book. Kaveri, main character of the novel is quite innovative in thinking of weird ideas to come out of her desperation for love & sex more so considering her age. It is a story of a girl celebrating her thirtieth birthday and still could not hook-up with any guy of interest.  She makes a resolution... irrespective there is love or no love, she is going to lose her virginity. A good read... a light novel... enjoy read..    J cheers.
