Kerry Cohen’s extraordinary memoir tells it like it is—she’s a teenager like any other, dealing with parents, school, and friends, but for some reason, “standing out” seems to have become almost impossible. Boys—and men—are a different matter altogether, and young Kerry soon realizes that, with the right clothes and attitude, she can get all the male attention she wants. What she doesn’t realize is how easy it is to get more than you’re ready for. In rich, engaging detail, LOOSE GIRL discovers what it’s like to live for sex. Looking back on her girlhood, Kerry Cohen remembers how it felt to be in that desperate moment, and why it’s so important to come to terms with it—moving forward with confidence and strength.
