Ugh, this book tried really hard...too hard to steer you in 1 direction and 1 direction only, so maybe you will be surprised in the ending. However, if you have at least a 6th grade education, you can not be steered. Majority of the story was spent laying out the ending the author "wanted" you to be thinking...and, well, duh, that is not a way to even make us want to finish the book. I really liked The Cellar, and Awake was okay too, this one could have probably stayed on the shelf at Target, but now I have a giant coaster!

Excellent educational but still entertaining watch.

I really enjoyed Netflixes new offering of Sex Education it's something I can see appealing to a wide variety of ages, it gets across the issues in relationships and sex without making teenagers cringe and without making {this 30 year old) roll their eyes too. I laughed, I cried, I learnt new things and I would highly recommend it to young teenagers as it does come across very sensible with the world of sex without sort of turning them away as it puts it across in a very entertaining manner.

The only reason it got 9 out of 10 and not 10 is because the series finale upset and I'm stubborn.

My and my other half struggled with that too. It's very confusing. It's as if they couldn't make their mind up so just did a bit of everything haha.

Apparently the director was hugely influenced by John Hughes films like the breakfast club and wanted to get that feeling across hence the 80's feel. It was also designed to have appeal both here and in the USA but was set in the UK.

Pretty confusing though I do agree!
