Dom doesn't really understand why Amy is willing to hook up with random guys, but she's also not particularly judgmental about it either. Personally, I really like Snadowsky's take on teenage sexual relationships and first love.ĭominique, more commonly known as Dom, has always been the studious type to her best friend Amy's boy crazy type. However, I'm mentioning the detailed descriptions of sex up front, so that readers who are not comfortable with that are full informed.
Honestly, though, it reads like a young adult novel to me, and it's not like teens wouldn't be having some or all of these experiences. I'm sure most people would not stick it under the New Adult heading, because of the rather graphic nature of the sex involved and the fact that Dom is in college for roughly the last third of it. I'm not sure what to call Anatomy of a Boyfriend. Anatomy of a Boyfriend really is one of those honest, real books that I would recommend for teens to read. I loved that real - again it is another instant where there really is no barrier between the reader and the story. Readers get a pretty real constant stream of consciousness from Dom - we she thinks, you know. I love the realistic portrayals of relationships not only between Dom and Wesley, but also Amy and her different conquests. It is one of those books that I think a lot of teens could benefit from - it lays out information from them that they may want. The scenes in the book don't cross the "line". While I wouldn't say Anatomy of a Boyfriend is overly grapic, Daria Snadowsky does not hold back or drop the black curtain when it comes to sex scenes like many books of the genre do.
I read this one the first time when it came out in paperback in 2008, so it was interesting to do a reread again now before I went on to read its sequel. In addition to being honest, Daria Snadowsky manages to write a story that is painfully realistic when it comes to love, sex, and relationships. Anatomy of a Boyfriend is one of the most honest books I've read out there that deals with the main character's sex life.
