Abigail Jones’ Newest Fan is Josielle for “Restless Virgins”

My goodness! I got a shout out from the lovely Josielle over at her blog, Oui Ma Fifi, about a book I recommended by my friend Abigail Jones, Restless Virgins: Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School.

Unfortunately for me I just received Restless Virgins: Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School by Abigail Jones and Marissa Miley.
