• Beverly Diehl commented on Rebecca Lane Beittel's article Can't get no satisfaction (sex in YA literature)
    March 2012
    I'm not sure this is entirely true, that you can't write about teen sex.  You could skirt it, a little bit, and write about how the characters felt afterwards, physically and emotionally (good but sore, perhaps, and she hadn't expected it to be...

    Damn you!  Another book on my Amazon wish list (and I liked it, too.)  Sounds like something I'll love reading.

    June 2011
