What a pleasant and enjoyable surprise. I have to admit I went into this book with very little in the way of expectations, and I am happy to say how impressed I am by the whole book.Aurelia has given us a well developed, sometimes funny, sometimes a little sad story of a well adjusted teenage girl (Lena), and detailed how she deals with the fact that she is the last person in her circle of friends to lose her virginity, and the adventures she goes on with the aim of losing it.One thing that is a BIG plus for me about this book is it's about a girl in the UK, who is going to college in the UK. It was great to see words like "git, bugger and arse" pop up, the good old Indian Takeaway, parties down the pub and so on. It was a refreshing change to all the US college romances etc that you usually get (and I love them as well, so no hating on me :-)Jake, well he was just hotness on a stick, not a bad boy, no motorbike, or tattoo's (well none are mentioned), just a good old fashioned, well-mannered guy. "Boring" you say...."Hell no!!!" says I, it's a refreshing change to read about a well behaved painter/decorator who acts like a gentleman, and I loved every minute of it.Nathan was a hoot, I wanted to slap Gemma at points, Flick is the sort of friend everyone need to have.Popping the Cherry, is a warm, friendly, easy to read and wholly enjoyable book, I really hope too see more from Aurelia B. Rowl in the future.ARC provided by Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review.
