"Hysterical. I couldn't put it down." (Nic Stone) "I laughed, I
gasped, I church grunted through every chapter." (Tiffany D.
Jackson) "Heartfelt and hilarious on every page!" (Justin A.
Reynolds) 4 starred reviews! * An Indie Next List Pick! * Named one
of Bank Street College of Education's Best Children's Books of the
Year! Two-time Edgar Award finalist Lamar Giles spotlights the
consequences of societal pressure, confronts toxic masculinity, and
explores the complexity of what it means to be a "real man." Del
has had a crush on Kiera Westing since kindergarten. And now,
during their junior year, she's finally available. So when Kiera
volunteers for an opportunity at their church, Del's right behind
her. Though he quickly realizes he's inadvertently signed up for a
Purity Pledge. His dad thinks his wires are crossed, and his best
friend, Qwan, doesn't believe any girl is worth the long game. But
Del's not about to lose his dream girl, and that's where fellow
pledger Jameer comes in. He can put in the good word. In exchange,
Del just has to get answers to the Pledgers' questions...about sex
ed. With other boys circling Kiera like sharks, Del needs to make
his move fast. But as he plots and plans, he neglects to ask the
most important question: What does Kiera want? He can't think about
that too much, though, because once he gets the girl, it'll all
sort itself out. Right? "With true-to-life characters and a
straightforward handling of sex, including often ignored aspects of
male sexuality, Giles's thoughtful, hilarious read offers a timely
viewpoint on religion, toxic masculinity, and teen sexuality."
(Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading
List")
