Summary from Goodreads
From bestselling author Kaitlyn Davis, writing as Kay Marie, comes a new adult romantic comedy about a girl who'll soon discover that some secrets can't be kept forever, especially those of the heart.
My name is Skylar Quinn. I just moved to New York with my best friend Bridget, and I have a confession. Well, more than one. Okay, quite a few really. Fine, here goes!
Confession #1: I'm a sex columnist. Hold on, that's not really the confession. You see, I'm sort of a virgin...sex columnist.
Confession #2: I'm kind of in love with Bridget's older brother, Oliver. No, I was. No, I am. Wait, was? Am? Crap.
Confession #3: I've been avoiding Oliver for four years. Or I was until today, because he just moved in. Yes, you read that correctly. He's my new roommate. So that night we've both been pretending never happened, well, we might not be able to keep it a secret any longer.
And trust me, this is only the beginning.

ARC Review Skylar "Skye" Quinn has just graduated from college!
The bright side? She will continue working on the same newspaper she interned.
The worst side? She will no longer be in the literature and art deprtment where she reviewed books (A reader's heaven!!) but there's an open position in the lifestyle and dating section, so Skye ends up being the new dating columnist. The funny thing about this position is that she hasn't dated a lot of guys, she doesn't get it when somebody invites her for coffee or drinks and that she's still a virgin.
By reading her story, we understand that she's never felt ready with anyone she dated apart from Oliver, her best friend's older brother. She had a crush on him since she can remember herself and the last night before she left for college she finally confessed to him her feelings and for a few moments it seemed like he had the same ones for her. But then he pushed her away explaining that he didn't feel anything for her.
But now he's back into Skye's life. You see, Skye and her best friend Birdget live together and their apartment is big enough for one more person. Oliver just got a job as a sous chef in New York as well and he will stay with the girls for a while but that's more than enough for Skye's feelings to resurface.
In addition, she has her boss demanding more juicy and interesting articles from Skye who is kind of forced to go out on dates and meet guys.
What I really liked about the story is that Skye is like every girl after she finishes college. She definitely needs the job in order to stay in New York and keep paying her bills, the job will look good on her resume and even if it's the dating column she still does the one thing she loves and that's writing and at some points she enjoyes it.
What surprised me was the fact that this is going to be a series. I thought that it was a standalone and a pretty good with a hilarious beginning, ca onfusing for Skye middle and an emotional ending. But then on the last page, a character from Skye's past returns and changes everything...
Verdict
Confessions of Virgin Sex Columnist is a hilarious well written story with funny and realistic characters, questions that every girl asks but never receives an answer to, a forbidden romance and an emotional journey to respecting and mostly being yourself and never change who you are for anybody.
Rating: 4 stars!!
But then a gentle knock sounds against my door.
And there's only one person it could be.
"Skye?" he whispers into the dark.
I could pretend to be asleep, but the alcohol has
drowned out my neuroses, replacing them with curiosity.
"What do you want,
Ollie?"
"I just…" He sighs. My eyes are closed but
I can perfectly imagine the way he's running his hand through his hair, messing
it up—an unconscious move he doesn’t even realize makes my heart melt. Makes
every girl's heart melt.
"Don't apologize," I say. It's the closest
reference I've made to talking about what happened. And he understands
immediately. Understands that I don't want to talk about it—but I doubt he
understands why. It's not because I'm embarrassed or hurt or vulnerable. It's
because I can't bear to hear the regret in his voice. Because before he did
what he did, before that moment, I had the best few minutes of my life. And I
don't want to hear that he wishes they never happened.
"Okay, can I say one thing then?"
"Sure." I rollover, finally sitting up.
Even in the dark, his eyes shine, glowing blue. Or maybe that’s just the
alcohol talking.
"It’s just, I can tell you're nervous about the
new job, but you shouldn’t be, Skye. You’re a great writer, and well…" He
shrugs, scanning the room for a moment. There's a note of honesty in his tone
that I rarely ever hear, that I've learned to recognize over the years.
"You don't have to have sex to be sexy, Skye. Some people do, maybe, but
not you. Never you."
And then he's gone, leaving me alone in the dark
with my racing heart.
