I liked Someone Like You for its portrayal of female friendship, but the way the author punishes any character who has or even thinks about having sex is really bad.

Anyone who has sex in this book ends up either dead, pregnant or in a car accident. Nowhere is there anything positive about sex, nor is there any good information about STD's or birth control. Good mother daughter relationship, though.
