The Accidental Virgin

Stacey Temple, a designer at thongs.com, hasn’t had a man in her life since she broke up with Brian almost a year ago. Not having a lover hasn’t bothered her much, until she reads an article about women who haven’t had sex in a year being “revirginized.” Stacey has a week before she hits the year mark, and she’s determined to get laid before then. But luck isn’t on her side: a handsome blind date turns her down because he senses she only wants sex, the 20-year-old son of one of her bosses has performance problems, and her ex’s new fiancee turns up at an extremely inopportune time. Stacey starts to get desperate, turning first to a female coworker and then to her best friend, Charlie, a handsome playboy. Much hilarity ensues, but Stacey remains unsatisfied and inching ever closer to revirginization. As she begins to doubt herself, a handsome neighbor–who might be able to please her sexually and romantically– catches her eye. Her adventures are often laugh-out-loud funny, making it impossible not to root for Frankel’s plucky, determined heroine.
