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.

This was a very quick read and I was very engaged in the story. However, I think Kerry spends the majority of the book telling the story of what she did, and not as much time was spent on how she healed. In the end, which was rather abrupt, I am not sure she even learned anything or came away with any self-reflection. Neither a lesson learned nor an in independent defense of behavior in the name of sexual independence. I just kind of...ended, and that makes the book seem like a bit of a waste of time to me.
