I read this book a while ago, but I still remember that I really liked it. I read it all in one sitting. I could relate to the author since I have displayed some behavior that mimics hers. I have learned lessons though, so I know longer act out in that manner, but it was interesting for me to read about someone who thought in that same way as I did.

I would recommend this book to anyone with an open mind.

I read this for my book club and was originally a bit apprehensive. I waited to the last minute to read it. I was pleasantly surprised. The book had a nice flow too it and it was not as graphic as I thought it would be (although it was somewhat graphic). Being a mom to a daughter, it horrified me in some ways but I appreciated her cantor and felt at the end that it would hopefully help me to ensure that my daughter would not follow down that road and if she did I would have some understanding of what she was going through.

This book broke my heart and made me thankful at the same time. It broke my heart to watch Kerry Cohen struggle and stumble through life. It made me thankful that I didn't have to go down the same path that she did. Kerry takes you with her through her journey into becoming an adult. It is a very raw and honest look at how women see themselves and how women use men to feel "full" when really they are empty inside. It's easy to see how Kerry became the adolescent that she was. She didn't have the support from her parents that she so desperately desired. She was insecure and wanted male attention to feel worthy. This book would be a great read for the parent of a female teen. I highly recommend this book to females everywhere.

Excellent book about an unfulfilled girl who finally figures out why she's doing what she';s doing and gets to the point where she can change herself for the better and pat herself on the back. Happy ending.

This book touches the topics that teens face everyday. Sex, STDs, drugs, alcohol, broken homes, and divorce. It really gave me a good idea of why some of the girls I knew in high school did the things they did. The emotional struggles they dealt with... in all the wrong ways. This really shows how one can go from being a victim to a survivor! I think the author was very brave! She wrote her own story. It's about time that someone was brave enough to tell the truth about themselves. It was so hard to put down... I wanted to keep on reading and keeping on saying no don't do it!

Loose Girl can be a hard book to read if you dont share any of Kerry;'s issues. But if you have ever feel like you needed a boy/man or that you needed him to like or need you, this is an awesome book. With courage and lots of insight Kerry takes us into her own personal struggle with being lovable. And shows us why a young girl would be so willing to trade her body for a moment of affection or attention. She shows us that she really doesn't know how to say no, because saying no will mean she is then alone and alone means empty, abandonment and unwanted.
Kerry also gives us some startling statistics that say it very likely that some adolescent girl either is already doing this or at risk to.
I loved this book and if I had teenage daughter, we'd be reading it together and talking about it. My girls are all grown up though.
