I've made it a mission to read all of Kelly Oram's books after falling in love with a few but I've found that they can be pretty hit or miss. This one was strangely OK; i loved Kyle but he might have gone about things a little wrong, whereas the hype surrounding Val after her admission to being a Virgin just seemed ridiculously overblown. I can't see any of that happening in real life.

That end bit though has me very intrigued. I want them to get together so badly so I'm off to get [b:A is for Abstinence|22089601|A is for Abstinence (V is for Virgin #2)|Kelly Oram|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1436992812s/22089601.jpg|40801675]

Book Favorite

"Carey is one of my favorite writers. The first book of his I ever read was a collection of short stories called The Fat Man In History. He also wrote Oscar And Lucinda — a beautiful story — which was turned into a film that I made. In Kelly Gang, the narrative voice is so unique. We Australians all know that outlaw Ned Kelly was hung after the famous shoot-out in 1880. But what Carey does is get inside his character's mind in such an illuminating and heartrending way. And there's not a trace of sentimentality in it. I so admire that as an actor, because I realize how difficult it is to do."

Ugh, I wanted to like the new Captain Marvel comics after Marvel did Warzones and basically blew everything into oblivion. But, Michele Fazekas is no Kelly Sue DeConnick. It also borrowed half of the story-line from one of the old Ms. Marvel stories. I'm not sure I'll want to continue reading on...
