101 Ways to Dance by Kathy Stinson

I really enjoyed this book, it was an engaging read and I think that a lot of teens would enjoy it. It was very sexual, there were some scenes that were very erotic, but I liked this because it didn't shy away from some of the forms of sexuality that people often avoid. There is such a wide variety of people, relationships, feelings, and sexual experiences in this novel and they are written so well that you can really get a feel for what is going on. Although, I didn't quite understand what was going on with the balloons in "everybody love a clown"...??? I thought that it covered a lot of the standard issues that teens face in terms of relationships and sex like teen pregnancy, losing your virginity, getting caught, and sexual orientation but it also covered some more off the grid topics such as the relationships between teens with cancer or teens that have developmental disabilities. I thought this was interesting, and I think that this book would be a good outlet for teens to experience some of the forms of sexuality that many people look down on or refuse to talk about.
