Chastity, aka Chaz, is a high school senior who cannot wait to flee her closed-minded, constricting small town. One night at the beginning of winter break when a stranger enters the restaurant where Chaz works, she is instantly taken with himand his sexy body. Sebastian is staying with his dad for the holidays, and over the course of the break, from helping her cope with an unexpected crisis at home and a friends accidental pregnancy to sending her virginity to a point of no return, Sebastian changes Chazs life forever. Intelligent and entertaining, Kiss It is a tribute to the unexpected thrills of regular life.

"[Kiss It] is a contemporary version of the book that Judy Blume wanted Forever to be--a book of good sex and good memories for an assertive girl who knows what she wants and goes after it with gusto and without apology." --The Bulletin, August 2010
