Raised in a strict household, sixteen-year-old Courtland Murphy never had a date. But that was before the guy of her every dreamβ€”basketball star Allen Bensonβ€”asked her out. She's gone from never-been-kissed to dating the hottest guy in school. And now her new boyfriend is pressuring her to prove she loves himβ€”by having sex. But as a member of her community's Worth-the-Wait club, Courtland made a vow to stay a virgin. Now everyoneβ€”from friends to family to fellow club membersβ€”gives her different advice, from "do it!" to "you made a pledge, girl!" It would be so easy for Courtland to go all the way with Allen, but sometimes his charming personality leaves her wondering. Who knew being in love could be so confusing?
