About This Book

The million-copy bestseller: "A laugh-out-loud and cry-out-loud tale of growing up . . . this fast paced, sassy novel triumphs" (The Philadelphia Inquirer).
 
For the seniors at Immaculate Heart High, hormones triumphed over the State of Grace—and everyone's vocation was to DO IT. The Map of Forbidden Sexual Delights extended its boundaries nightly in the back seats of tail-finned cars. And nothing—not even the Anti-Smut League—could keep the boys and the girls from a rowdy, raunchy romp through those heart-stopping, heart-wrenching days of growing up!
 
"To read Virgins is to remember the days when a kiss was two tightly closed mouths colliding and there were definite rules as to where a roving hand could rove . . . and no, if you are too young to remember those days, Caryl Rivers is not making it all up. Rivers has written a very funny book." —The Washington Post
 
"Rivers is in her element. Her descriptions, from the blue serge uniforms and scuffed oxfords to the continuing battle of wits with the nuns, are right on target. Virgins is quick and bright." —Los Angeles Times
 
"Miss Rivers demonstrates her sharp comic form right from the start." —The New York Times Book Review
 
"Rivers doesn't give one time to pause for breath between the bawdy laugh-out-loud and wrenchingly moving moments in her new book . . . This glimpse of the chasm separating youthful hopes and realities will affect readers strongly." —Publishers Weekly
