The Night When No One Had Sex (by Kalena Miller)

A much better young adult offering! This follows eight friends who make a "sex pact" on prom night. A comedy of errors ensues and things don't go quite as planned. 

It's a nice diverse mix of kids without a sense of tokenism to the diversity.  The narration bounces around among characters as their plots diverge.  Some (Julia and Kevin) are more enjoyable than others (Zoe and Morgan) but all the characters feel real, the dialogue is funny and snappy, and the overall narrative arc is satisfying. Thumbs up!

(Also if you're a YA fan please pre-order or request from the library Jen Larsen's The Big Reveal. It's really good!)
