Young Adult
A novel about love, loss, and sex -- but not necessarily
in that order. Before her mother died, Shelby promised three things: to
listen to her father, to love as much as possible, and to
live without restraint. Those Promises become harder to keep
when Shelby's father joins the planning committee for the
Princess Ball, an annual dance that ends with a ceremonial
vow to live pure lives -- in other words, no "bad behavior,"
no breaking the rules, and definitely no sex. Torn between Promises One and Three, Shelby makes a decision
-- to exploit a loophole and lose her virginity before
taking the vow. But somewhere between failed hookup attempts
and helping her dad plan the ball, Shelby starts to
understand what her mother really meant, what her father
really needs, and who really has the right to her purity.
