It might well frighten a few of the parental horses but I think ''Doing It'' is fabulous. It's truthful, funny, even terrifying sometimes, but it has a heart the size of a planet. And to my mind, the truth is always the best thing.
Highly recommended. We also have a review of Burgess's [[The Cry of the Wolf by Melvin Burgess|The Cry of the Wolf]].
You might also look at [[Losing It by Keith Gray]] - a collection of short stories about losing one's virginity. And we love [[Apples by Richard Milward]], a vivid and poetic look at Britain's urban youth with its binge-drinking, drug-taking and seemingly ubiquitous teen pregnancy. You might also enjoy [[The Hit by Melvin Burgess]].
