|summary=This book, although rather short, managed to put its message across clearly. I was interested to read this, as it is a theme that I had not read before in a book. I found it very difficult to read at times, but I always found myself turning the next page a minute after the last. I was quite nervous to read this, but after I had finished, I could not have been more glad I had chosen it - it showed me the mind-set mindset of the main character after her experience. I found this an interesting and unique book.

Cassidy did a great job with writing this book and depicted Stacey's emotions very well. The shame, guilt and fear she felt were prominent throughout this novel - which made it a much more convincing read.
I will recommend this novel to any other teenager I know, as it will help many view life differently and will show some the warning signs so they can avoid making the same mistakes that she did. It shows that rape is not black and white and there is no right way to deal with something that should not be happening - but that if you accept the fact that it is not your fault, then dealing with it will be much easier.
If you enjoyed ''No Virgin'', then you should check out other books that deal with tough topics in life. I'd recommend [[Crush by Eve Ainsworth]] which deals with the beginning of an abusive relationship. Or if you would rather a story that deals with other hard topics, Iā€™d suggest [[My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga]] which is another great plot with powerful characters. You might also enjoy meeting the wonderful Malin in [[The Unpredictability of Being Human by Linni Ingemundsen]].
