“Edgy and smart with a sweet and sexy core.” —Rachel Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Eyes on Me
I should’ve kept my mouth shut.
But Wilmont Academy’s been living in the Dark Ages when it comes to sex ed, and someone had to take matters into her own hands. Well, I’m a kick-ass coder, so I created a totally anonymous, totally untraceable blog where teens can come to get real, honest, nothing-is-off-limits sex advice.
And holy hell, the site went viral—and we’re talking way beyond Wilmont—overnight. Who knew this town was so hard up?
Except now the school administration is trying to shut me down, and they’ve forced Dean—my coding crush, aka the hottest guy in school—to try to uncover who I am. If he discovers my secret, I’ll lose him forever. And thousands of teens who need real advice won’t have anyone to turn to.
Ask me anything…except how to make things right.

My Review:
4 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Romance, Teen--
Amber appreciates the fact her school encourages hard work and has stimulating classes, but the way the school and her terrible principle treat sex education like a disease drives Amber insane. Why not be honest with the teens ans maybe give real advice to be helpful instead of the "abstinence is the only way" school assembly? When someone takes matters into their own hands and ruins the school approved slide show with some racy clips, an idea triggers in Amber's head. It also doesn't hurt that she is having a personal wager with a cute fellow hacker to keep her on her toes. But if anyone finds out what she has planned, it could ruin her life.
I was first drawn to this book because the cover caught my eye, with the direct eye contact from the girl on the cover and the coding language over everything, and we all know how much of a cover snob I am. Anyway, once I discovered this was about a girl secretly education her class about proper sex education, I was so on board to read this. I personally feel like sex education is lacking for teens. Sure, nobody is excited about kids having sex but wouldn't it be better to give them all the facts and open up an honest dialogue?? In case you can't tell, this topic is one I feel very strongly about and I was interested to see what Molly would say about the subject.
There was some code speaking going on that completely went over my head (and that is coming from a girl who had to learn everything on the fly to create a blog) when Amber and Dean where in their zones. I understood the gist of what was going on but I do not speak the language of hackers.
I loved the relationship dynamic between Amber and her parents, especially her erotica writing mother. The ease and comfort that Amber can discuss anything with her mom is so perfect, completely what I hope to achieve in the future with my imaginary children. Actually in general, both main characters have great families, with support and actual interaction and conversation, something I personally think we need more of in YA.
Overall I found this to be a good read that had a way of keeping a light tone while dealing with some serious and potentially dark subject matter and a super important topic. AND let's not forget how sweet, romantic and swoon-worthy this story is- I would recommend it based on that alone. I can't wait to see what Molly wants to write next because I will most certainly come back for more.
