I don’t need the perfect guy. I don’t need candlelight or roses. Honestly, I don’t even need a real bed… Ellie Kolstakis is a twenty-one-year-old virgin. She’s not religious. She’s not waiting for marriage. She’s not even holding on for The One. Ellie’s just unlucky. But with her final year of university coming to an end, she’s determined to shed her V-plates, once and for all. And she’s ready to try anything - from submitting to her domineering Greek mother’s matchmaking skills to embracing the world of nether-waxing trends (no-one wants a ‘Hitler’) and even YouTube tutorials on how to give a ‘blow gift’ (it should never be a job). After all, what has she got to lose? Well, besides the obvious. Praise for VIRGIN 'Laugh out loud…Bridget Jones could take a page from this novel' - Joan Rivers ‘An entertaining romp’– Emma Barnett, broadcaster and women's editor of The Telegraph ’Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw, meet your wisecracking, vagina obsessed match. Sanghani's debut is a hilarious, irreverent look at smart-alecky, painfully self-conscious, 21-year-old Ellie's relentless mission to rectify a disastrous first attempt at performing oral sex, get deflowered, find the perfect Brazilian wax, avoid her tradition-bound Greek mother's nagging, graduate summa cum laude, be a writer, and fit in…This story for millennials is a wonderful blend of modern agnst with old-fashioned sweetness.” -Publisher's Weekly
