Synopsis: In this honest, frank, and funny debut novel, four best friends make a pact during their senior year of high school to lose their virginities—and end up finding friendship, love, and self-discovery along the way.
To be honest, the sex pact wasn’t always part of the plan.
Layla started it. She announced it super casually to the rest of the girls between bites of frozen yogurt, as if it was just simply another addition to her massive, ever-evolving To Do List. She is determined to have sex for the first time before the end of high school. Initially, the rest of the crew is scandalized, but, once they all admit to wanting to lose their v-cards too, they embark on a quest to do the deed together... separately.
Layla’s got it in the bag. Her serious boyfriend, Logan, has been asking for months.
Alex has already done it. Or so she says.
Emma doesn’t know what the fuss is all about, but sure, she’ll give it a shot.
And Zoe, well, Zoe can’t even say the o word without bursting into giggles.
Will everything go according to plan? Probably not. But at least the girls have each other every hilarious, heart-warming, cringe-inducing step of the way.
From debut author Lindsey Rosin, Cherry is a coming-of-age, laugh-out-loud tale of first times, last chances, and the enduring friendships that make it all worthwhile.
***
Cherry was a fun, quick read. Although I'm almost 22, and have been out of high school for four years - this book made me feel like I too was a 17 year old girl in their friend group. Cherry was a nostalgic read. It was quick. There weren't parts that were boring, very little filler.
It has four points of view, the four friends. Usually, I'm not one for multiple points of view, but this time it worked. You got to see more in depth of each girls lives, as well, you really got to understand their point of view.
If you read the book, you'll understand why Zoe gets upset with Alex at one point you get to see both points of view and not just one.
However, although I thought the book was well written and enthralling, I rate it 3/5 stars. Over the years I've been picky about what books I am giving 5 stars. Basically, a five star book is a book that changes my perspective on life, or truly alters my reality. This book was fun and well deserves three stars.
