Spencer “Responsible” Davis is nowhere ready to “give up the V,” as opposed to her hormonally crazed crew of friends, obsessed with the who-what-when-where-how of it all. “It” being . . . well, you get it. Even Spencer’s male friends, who claim to have expertise in the matter, offer their services to help relieve her of that pesky letter, much to her embarrassment.
But when new-kid Benjamin enters the picture, Spencer begins to rethink her “responsible” moniker, and for the first time she wonders if she’s found just the right guy worth trading in her V-card.

Grade 9 Up–For her 16th birthday, Spencer Davis gets her first ob-gyn exam and birth control pills, thanks to her progressive mother. Uninterested in losing her virginity, Spencer doesn't drink and is the responsible one in her group of friends, The Crew. Zach, gentlemanly romantic math nerd, is her special guy pal. Her best friend, Alyssa, Asian American and super thin, vows to lose her own virginity soon. Goth girl Morgan has regular sex with her on-again off-again boyfriend, Justin, who has sex with any girl available. Ryan, wealthy bad boy, gets drunk and hooks up with a different girl every weekend. When dreamy Ben moves to their western Washington town and joins The Crew, Spencer is surprised when he bestows his attention on her. Could Ben be the One, perfect for her first time? Spencer's character is satisfactorily developed, including her struggle with body image and the complexities of her friendship with Alyssa, who wants Ben, too. The other characters remain flat stereotypes. Justin and Ryan openly offer their sexual services to Spencer (So, Davis, who gets to pop your cherry?) and publicly brag about their conquests. Ben is just another egotistical, horny guy looking for hookups. Spencer does his chemistry homework and accepts his invitation to the Winter Formal, but by the middle of the book, readers will see what's coming. Terra Elan McVoy's Pure (S & S, 2009) covers similar ground with complex and interesting characters, realistic repercussions, and without crude conversations.–Joyce Adams Burner, National Archives at Kansas City, MO

Sweet!
By Scave31
Full of lots of teenaged angst, Giving Up the V is a very realistic depiction of the struggles teens have these days regarding sex. Should they? Shouldn't they? It's more than just a yes or no answer involved, and Robar nails it in the funniest, yet sweetest way.
While many of her peers are already having sex (or want to), Spencer isn't sure she's ready. When ensues is a fun comedy about making a decision that will affect you for the rest of your life. Snappy, realistic dialogue, and humor are Robar's strengths, and they shine.
Teens will love this book... and probably see a lot of themselves and their friends in the characters. Very enjoyable!

How can you not like a story that starts off with the main character having to endure her first gynecological exam because she has a forward-thinking mother?
Spencer is the last girl that needs a prescription for the Pill. She has never had a serious crush on a boy in all of her sixteen years. But her mother wants Spencer to be prepared. She's not giving her carte blanche to be promiscuous, but she wants Spencer covered if hormones override common sense.
Spencer's medication is the talk of her group of friends, the Crew. The guys in the group all offer to be her first.
Spencer has always been the girl her friends confide in. Her tight group of friends include Ryan, the player; Morgan and Justin, the on-again/off-again/on-again rocking couple; her best friend, Alyssa, who is so petite she looks like she is only twelve; and good old Zach. It isn't until Spencer lays eyes on the new transfer student, Ben, that she even considers putting her pills to good use.
But problems ensue when Alyssa shares her list of possible boys to lose her virginity to with Spencer. Spencer hasn't told anyone about her crush on Ben (and she's getting the vibe that Ben is into her as well), and she's conflicted when she sees Ben has made it to #1 on Alyssa's list. She's torn between keeping her friend happy and following her own desires.
It doesn't help when her friend Zach starts keeping his distance from her. Though he assures her that everything is okay, Spencer isn't so sure. And she's also confused when she realizes that Zach has started to sport some well-defined muscles of his own.
I really enjoyed GIVING UP THE V from start to finish. Spencer could be any teenage girl struggling with the emotions of her first crush. She's flattered that she's captured his attention, but then uncomfortable with his fast moves. There's girl drama, romance, and amusing situations that the characters find themselves in. Some of the most entertaining parts are Justin's attempts to win Morgan back in their up and down romance.
The story doesn't promote sexual activity even though the title may suggest otherwise. It's a good look at the pros and cons of going all the way the first time.

So Similar!
By Melanie E.
Upon reading the first three pages of the book I instantly knew I wanted to finish the whole thing. I purchased it on my kindle and finished the book a day later. It was great the main character Spencer is witty and smart. She's compasionate and caring. The Situations were something you could actually see happening and were both painful and hilariousme it was realistic and charming.
Spencer is a 16 year old girl whose mother puts her on the pill, just to be prepared. Spencer feels like she wants to wait for someone she loves while her best friend Alyssa wants to get it over with. Spencer sticks with her decision until a new boy comes to school. Hes Handsome and seems to like her but shes not sure if shes willing to go through with everything. Its interesting whats happens albeit a tad predictable.
This book strongly reminded me of a book I loved when I was younger called Just as long as were together by Judy Blume. Spencer reminded me of the main character Steph in that story who was struggling with balancing her home life, friends and her body issues same as Spencer, Stephs best friend is an Asian girl Alison while Spencers best friend was an Asian girl names Alyssa. The two character to me seem to blend into one and I started to see Giving up the V almost as an what happened next in the Judy Blume story.
Some of the downsides were that the plot was very predicatable and (IMO) borrowed some from 10 things I hate about you. Some of the friendships seemed strange, example the goth girl, dumb jock and science geek were all friends. There was also the token mean popular girl.
Besides from the sterotypes this book was really great and fun to read. I enjoyed it a lot.
