Shut Out Kody Keplinger Books

I was surprised at how much I liked this book. I wasn't a fan of The Duff, at all. I don't enjoy reading books that are full of sex, but I was really curious to see what Kody had done with her sophomore book, and I'm glad I did. I was really intrigued by Shut Out's premise and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that while Shut Out deals with the topic of sex, it's surprisingly a book with no sex scenes in it. What Kody does with Shut Out is send a powerful message to her readers about sex and the empowerment girls have by staying in control of who they are.

Shut Out doesn't hold back on it's "say how it is" conversations with relationships, friendships, sex, standing firm and being proud of who you are, choices, letting your guard down, double standards and sex education/advice. I liked this story covers a lot of realistic situations and I enjoyed the enduring friendships the girls have, and how open they were able to eventually be with each other. I really appreciated the fact that they were able to be so blunt in their conversations together about sex, double standards, wanting advice about sex and the pros and cons of teens having sex. What I admired the most with this book was the empowerment girls feel when they're in control of themselves, and they don't need to be having sex to have that control.

Kody tackled some tough issues that teens deal with and I loved that she created characters who through out the course of this book started to become honest with each other and themselves. I was shocked to learn that many of the girls in the story were indeed virgins. It made me want to yell FINALLY, there's a book with a main character and other supporting characters who don't feel the need to go all the way. Don't get me wrong, there's scenes of heavy petting and and fooling around, but I admired that some of these girls don't take it all the way even though in the beginning they act like they do.

Another thing I liked about this book was Lissa. Her voice was enduring, feisty and she kept me reading the book. She's a character who grows a lot through out the story. She learns to let go a little bit and not be so uptight about things she can't control, and at the same time she learns to be honest with herself. I totally admired her strength after a horrid event happens at her prom and I loved how her friends rallied around her after that. And Cash... I adored his character! He made the book for me and I loved how prescient and patient he was. His respect towards Lissa spoke volumes to me. My biggest compliant with the story was how often the f-bomb is dropped. I felt it was totally unnecessary to be used as much as it did and for me, it didn't fit the character who uses it so often. I liked the way Kody tackles real teen issues with regards to sex, friendships and not being embarrassed to admit you're a virgin. There's language in the book, a lot of talk about sex, and some mild sensual scenes, making this a book I'd recommend to mature YA readers.

Shut Out Kody Keplinger Books Reviews

Shut Out is one of those books that was so fun to listen to! This is the second book of Kody Keplinger's I've read (Duff being the first) and I have to say I love her style. She writes fun reads with just enough seriousness/emotion to keep me invested. But they're also on the light side and entertaining. This was just the type of story I was in the mood for!

Lissa is sick of the feud at her school. Soccer boys vs. Football boys. It's been going on too long. It's effecting her and her relationship with her football playing boyfriend. After enough is enough she decides to fight back. She gets together with the girls dating other players from both teams and they unite. They make a pack to 'hold out' until this feud is over. The boys will surely stop this if they're getting cut off, right? It seems like a legit plan but things never seem to go according to plan...

Lissa was a fantastic heroine. I love the way she was with her family, she reminded me a lot of myself in that regard. Her dad and brother were great, and her best friend Casey had me laughing throughout the story. I loved how her relationship with our hero progressed. The narration was good when it came to Lissa, but anytime she was voicing any other character, not so great. Still, overall this is an audiobook I would recommend and I would definitely recommend reading it for all YA lovers.
This is a book that will make you think. Yes, the story is engaging and has a few twists, and you'll find yourself laughing out loud a few times. But this book is one of those that you could discuss at great length. It's set at a high school, but I read this as a college student, and found myself identifying with it a LOT. I think any female age 15 to mid-20s will identify with the story in some way.

Plot summary The football and soccer teams at Hamilton High have had an ongoing rivalry for about a decade-- what started out as tame, summer camp-y pranks have now become more intense, to the point where players are getting injured. And the players' girlfriends, particularly starting quarterback Randy's girlfriend Lissa, are sick of it. (Also because their boyfriends rank the rivalry above their respective relationships.) So, brought together by Lissa with the help of her best friend Chloe, the soccer team girlfriends and football team girlfriends all make a pact to withhold sex until this feud comes to an end. Obviously, drama and some hilarity ensue.

Here are some of my favorite things about "Shut Out"

-- Chloe, Lissa's best friend and sort of "first lieutenant" in the assembly of the girlfriends. She's fiercely loyal, blunt/fairly crude, and has sex, well, "like a guy," by societal standards. She's multi-dimensional--- she's more than just that token slutty girl. She's comic relief while also having her deeper moments. She's not ashamed of who she is and what she does. In a society where slut-shaming is still a thing, I'm glad Chloe played such an integral part in the plot.

-- The diversity of the girls. We've got Chloe. Then we've got a couple of girls who admit to being virgins, yet one is absolutely hell-bent on hiding this from everyone she knows. (Much to her surprise, the group still accepts her.) Another girl admits to not enjoying sex with her boyfriend, and is worried that this makes her "weird." One admits to faking orgasms. There's an openness that develops within the group-- by the end they're confiding in each other about intimate details of their sex lives, wondering if their experiences are "normal" or not, as they realize that there truly isn't a "normal."

-- Cash Sterling, the male hero of the book. Swoon. However, I like that he doesn't necessarily swoop in and save the day entirely. I.e., he's not getting all the credit for solving the problem, which is nice.

-- The book encourages openness about sexuality, which is amazing, yet rare. I'm not saying we all need to turn into "Sex and the City" and start loudly discussing orgasms and vibrators over Sunday brunch, but there shouldn't be so much taboo surrounding sex... The book also brings up a lot of great questions about sex and sexuality that will hit close to home for pretty much any female reader.

--Lissa is flawed. It'd be too easy for her to be the perfect, laid-back, social butterfly who's dating the quarterback. Nope, she's anxious, and a bit uptight, and isn't an all-knowing relationship/sex goddess. She doesn't have an endless group of friends. She gets too swept up in the strike, she's a little bit crazy at times. We've all got some Lissa in us. She's relatable, and in that sense, she's normal.
