Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl

Product Information

But in doing so, she must face some home truths: maybe she shouldn’t be fixing her body to please a boy, maybe Sasha is the friend she needed all along and maybe Reggie isn’t so bad at all.

She’s in a relationship with the love of her life, Dom, the church drummer and a guy her father loves and respects. By writing her fears (as well as embarrassing and cringeworthy truths) on paper, she never has to face them in real life. i love a class clown and reggie reminded me of too many of the class clowns i had a crush on in high school.The story of Monique coming into herself, and realizing some situation that she was in was a little more toxic than she had initially noticed it was something that was very enjoyable for me to read.

At seventeen, she was just scratching the surface about making adult decisions and learning the consequences. The storyline also couples this with purity culture, and growing up in a household dominated by standards set by the Church. While on their quest, Monique discovers the value of a true friend and the wonders of a love that accepts her for who she is. Mateo’s relationships with his friends Kimmie and Adam (a potential love interest) also suffer repercussions as he keeps his situation a secret.that means they are somehow wrong/dirty/less than is so messed up and very frustrating when you see the fallout from being brought up and talked about in this manner. And the relationship between Monique and her parents is one that’s pretty similar to mine so I related to her in that sense. This is a powerful story about the journey towards loving yourself, told with heart, humour and a delicious love triangle.

The goods do not need to be in their original packaging however in a sellable condition, and at your own cost and risk. The love triangle aspect was interesting but I have to say, the contrast between Monique’s ex-boyfriend Dom and Reggie was a really interesting one and proves that people’s perceptions of others aren’t always accurate. As described in a note to readers, Monique’s story does much to raise awareness of vaginismus and directly confront toxic views about sex.This is a powerful journey towards loving yourself, about body and sex positivity, with heart, humour, family intrigue and a dynamic and delicious love triangle. There was so much he taught her and so much you could tell she simple learned from being around him and Sasha.
