I laughed most of the time because she was very honest of her experiences. We were kind of similar because I haven't dated ever since that's why I could relate to her stories. But she sounded desperate(the teenage Lisa)^_^LOL. I was and am okay with being single. Though I never really see "dating" the way she did when she was in her teenage years, i have to admit that she was surprisingly right about things she wrote. The Disney fantasies, the insecurities, the questions, the curiosities, and th...more

After reading only the first chapter I got on the phone and started calling my friends! This is a book that everyone needs. It ranks right up there with Lady In Waiting. I will be giving it as gifts to friends who have daughters.
This is one of those life-changing books. In today's society girls are pushed into the dating scene. Pressured to be what everyone is and to do what everyone else is doing. Statistics show a rise in sexual promiscuity and at a younger age. In fact I am surprised at the p...more

I am not a huge fan of self-help books but this book by Lisa Velthouse proved to be my turning point. To all young girls out there, who at one point or another felt insecure, ugly, too short, too tall, too fat, too thin, too ignorant, too innocent, a nobody next to Miss Popular who got what and who she wanted she she wanted it, you are never alone. This is not a cult, mind you. This book is a reminder that we, girls, ladies, lasses, women are all special and that to always smile your woes away b...more
This has been one of my all time favorite books. I could simply relate to it. Just like the author I've made a pact of saving my purity for my future husband. I do believe that the greatest gift you could give to your lifetime partner is your wholeness.
I am 20 years old at the moment and will be turning 21 on the 22nd of July 2010. No boyfriend since birth, never been on a date.. in other words, I've never had a so called "love story" but I believe that God is still writing the perfect love sto...more

Too good to be true.
I could remember how amazed I was when I read Lisa Velthouse’ Saving My First Kiss: Why I’m Keeping Confetti in My Closet way, way back before I turned 18. It was a book that has been passed on from one girl friend to another, and was eventually not returned because one of them liked it so much.
Truly, it is/was a good read for young souls, yes, before hitting all the bumps out there and experiencing love and heartaches. Needless to say, however, I have outgrown the theory tha...more

I read this book for a book review I did as a young teen for a magazine that a family member worked for.
I enjoyed read this book, and at the time, it was a good read. I feel like I have very much outgrown this book and it's ideals, but it was slightly helpful at the time. As a young teen it reaffirmed me in my convictions about physicality in a dating relationship. The author is a good story teller and easily makes you laugh.
Overall, it was an okay read.

This book is beyond words to describe. It was obvious enough that the book was written because Velthouse was ordered by God to write it. There was a call.
I loved the wall painted white with a missed portion in it idea. And that portion in the book was pointed out as the love portion of Velthouse's life.
I also liked the virginity part
!!! this book has been food for my soul for a month !!!
what? I was busy with college entrance exams :)

This is a perfect book for those who are still looking for love and desperate to be loved. For someone who looks forward for the day her true love will come and how to celebrate it. It will widen view about love and teach respect to oneself. Definitely, a book that I can relate to and helped me to view love as a gift.
Put things in perspective for me. I've read this book more or less five years ago. I had a separate notebook where I wrote the quotes I liked from the book. That time, it was a new dimension-- a whole new level of love story and pursuit that the author has introduced to me. Very inspiring. Thought-provoking. You would wonder where this lady sources all her commitment to wait. And then you realize it's God -- the Author of life.
Be sure to see Lorraine's excellent review!
it really changed my LIFE.i mean my view of life.. and a lot more lessons..
a must-read for every girls:)
Self-help book. HAHA
good read for teenagers out there.
Godly book :)
Gives a really refreshing perspective on singleness...
If you have no experience dating or very little this is a great book. The way the author weaves the christian facts through out the book is great. It really made me feel that I am not the only one who guards my first kiss as something special.
I really enjoyed reading this book.I can't forget everything i have read in it, well, all the most important parts for me. This is one of the many books that made me see things that are important in life.:p. when I was a teen ;)
Those who wait in the Lord will never be disappointed

“If you don't want to deal with things like guilt, shame and disappointment later on in life, then you'll have t start now by making choices that won't result in those things...tomorrow's regret depends on today's decisions. If you don't want to regret your physical intimacy tomorrow, then you'll have to be living in un-regrettable physical intimacy today.”
