Restless Virgins is the riveting real-life story of the intimate lives of seven teenagers. Set at a prep school near Boston, Massachusetts, the book takes place during the year of a widely publicized sex scandal. But it’s not just about a scandal; it’s a compassionate, honest portrait of the lives of today’s girls and boys. A work of narrative nonfiction, Restless Virgins reveals the changing landscape of teenage sexuality.

Restless Virgins is about fitting in, taking risks, hooking up, and breaking up. About best friends and parents, settling and survival, and always the search for love. Everything that happens here is true.

Restless Virgins is now available in Japanese! Bookman-sha published our book earlier this summer.  Please share the news with any friends and family living there.
