Doing It by Leshem Escoffery

Title - Doing It
Author - Melvin Burgess

Story - This story takes place somewhere in England, it is not mentioned exactly where the location or setting of the book is. There are three friends and each have their own story intertwined with three other women. The story is mostly about boy and girl teenagers with their crazy hormones, and what they will do to get "it." The boys talk about who they want to do "it" with, or don't, one boy is sleeping with a teacher, another wants the most popular girl, another has this thing for a plump girl. The three women have their problems with the guys, but you'll have to read to find out what.

My Analysis - It's unbelivably funny, the things that happen to them are hilarious. The content is good I guess, it's kinda like reading a soap opera about teenagers, which is great. Last but not least, they are British. I like how they talk it makes everything funnier.
