Word of Advice: Don't read this with eats or sips, you may snort it out.

I've seen quite a few say the rom wasn't roming, but I loved Ed & Mia. The chemistry was there. The friends-to-lovers was there.

Subtle romance & humor at its best!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers and of course the author for gifting me this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

If I had to describe this book in one word it would be hilarious! Had me laughing out loud so many times I thought I was going to injure myself.

Ed and Mia could not be more chalk and cheese, and reminded me of the 40 year old virgin movie.

I've been a fan of Kristen Bailey for a while now and I've read all of her books about the Callaghan sisters. This book is a stand alone story (although there may be a few references to the Callaghans) and it certainly did not disappoint. Mia and Ed's story of will they, won't they, stole my heart. It is such a refreshing storyline with Bailey's usual sprinkle of spice.

I could not say enough good things about this book. Between the characters, storyline and the brilliant cover I loved it. Everyone must read.

I absolutely tore through this book and really loved it. The characters felt so real and perfectly flawed and it was so interesting to follow along. Perhaps predictable at the end but I really enjoyed the plot and thought it was kept really interesting. I always love reading about books set in London and this one was full of fun slang and pop culture references. Definitely recommend this one to all!

4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

Sex Ed was so funny that I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants, stopping only to follow Kristen Bailey on Instagram and buy all of her books as well. If you have a sense of humor, aren't a prude, and like a rom com, grab some wine and dive in.

Funny and entertaining. Kristen Bailey tells a story that makes you laugh out loud and perhaps learn something’s. I will recommend this book to my book reading friends.

This was such a hilarious, laugh-out-loud rom-com. Ed and Mia have been best friends since they started teaching at the same school. But when Mia learns that Ed is a 28-year-old virgin, it becomes her mission to teach him all the skills he needs to land the new math teacher. The book was somewhat predictable, however, it was sweet and funny.

This book is BRILLIANT!!
Honestly, I did not think I could laugh so much reading a book. There were actual tears, my husband wondered what was going on, said he's not seen me laugh like that in ages.
Sex Ed is such a fun, entertaining, hilarious read. The main characters Ed and Mia are just fab. They're total opposites but work so well together. I also loved that Beth and Lucy feature, I'm a huge fan of the Callaghan sisters ♥️
I also really enjoyed the interactions and banter with the students in school, too funny but all just so naturally funny which is what I love about Kristens writing, the humour is always brilliant and so well done, it just flows without feeling forced. Love it!
By far my favourite book this year and I can't imagine another book making me laugh so much (apart from maybe her next book)

I loved this book! I thoroughly enjoyed Kristen Bailey's writing and flew through the story. Highly recommend!

This is my first time reading a book by Kristen Bailey and I can confidently say that I'll be exploring more of her work in the future. Throughout the story, I found myself laughing so hard during many scenes and the execution of the best friends falling in love trope was brilliant. Mia and Ed, were both endearing characters and the evolution of their friendship into something more felt organic. Additionally, the side characters added a lot of charm to the story, I particularly wish there was more of Donna's presence.

However, for a book that heavily focuses on sex, those scenes could've been done better, as they came across as somewhat unnatural. Also, I couldn't help but feel that the epilogue fell a bit short. Personally, I enjoy when romcom epilogues provide updates on all the characters, even if it's just a quick one-liner. Setting aside those minor points, the chosen location, workplace setting, and clever title all contribute to making it a fantastic romcom read.

Funny story with some unexpected twists and turns. It was definitely a fun read, just not appropriate for a classroom.

Sex Ed is a roaring good time. I absolutely loved Ed and Mia's friendship and the development of their relationship over the length of the book. The best part is that the book had me laughing out loud from the very beginning.

Sex Ed is a highly entertaining friends to lovers, opposites attract rom com. Ed and Mia are both likable and, in some ways, very relatable characters. Bailey approaches them in a very open and caring way. In addition, her approach to sex is honest, open, and very positive. There is no shame attached to the subject especially in regards to the characters and their sexual backgrounds. I think this is something that tends to be missing in some romance books.

Bailey also has a very unique way of writing sex scenes. They are very playful and at times a bit awkward. This is completely in line with the characters and the story that's been built. Overall, it adds to the story and these scenes flow nicely into the context of the book. As is common in Bailey's stories, the characters and plot has a lot of respect and heart. Overall, a great read and one I would highly recommend.

This book was fantastic, had me laughing from the moment I picked up the book.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This book was very funny, I really enjoyed it and was sad when it ended!

Ed and Mia are secondary school teachers and are like chalk and cheese personality-wise, but are also best friends. English teacher Mia is a bit ditsy, she forgets her lunch (and often has to steal Ed's), enjoys a night out, frequents Tinder, dresses like a student and often comes to school with a hang-over. Biology teacher Ed is more straight-laced, mostly wears M&S shirts and chinos, prefers a movie night in at home with his cat Nigel for company, is a master baker (!) and loves house plants.

After Mia persuades him to drink shots at an after school pub session a drunken Ed admits to her that ironicly, despite his school subject specialism, he is inexperienced in the bed department! Worrying that at 28 he is becoming a sad cat Dad he seeks sex and relationship advice from his friend.  Can she help him to win over the new pretty, Alice band-wearing Maths teacher Caitlin?

This is a fab read, I really enjoyed the writer's tongue in cheek style and look forward to reading more from Kristen!

This book was absolutely hilarious! It's a story of a truly deep friendship between Mia and Ed. One particular evening whilst out drinking with colleagues, Mia encouraged Ed to take some Tequilas over to Caitlin whom he had become attracted to. It was away of trying to relax him and make him look cool It was very early for tequila and as a direct result of this he ended up with his head down the loo at Mia's feeling dreadful. He admitted to Mia that he was still a virgin at 28. She had experienced many funny encounters and so she offered to help Ed how to become 'sexually proficient'. This book has details, it doesn't hold back, it's funny, it's shocking but not in a perverted way and refreshing! The amount of times my partner said 'what are you giggling at?' When I was in bed listening to the audiobook. This really was a laugh out loud book! This was also my first book of Kristen Bailey's, its definitely not going to be my last!
The narrator was perfect for this genre. She WAS Mia, a perfect match in my opinion. When she did the other voices they were fabulous too. It makes a huge difference to have a good narrator.
Get this book or audio, preferably the latter it's hilarious. This is the summer read!

Thank you to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for a copy in return for an honest review!

This spicy romantic comedy is the perfect cheeky summer read. The characters are, as you'd expect from Kristen, funny, likeable, and highly relatable. I also loved that Beth and Lucy, from the Callaghan sisters, made an appearance. I miss those girls! Congrats Kristen, it's another hit! Five stars.

A highly enjoyable read! I loved Mia and Ed and you just wanted to see if Mia would really act on her feelings and if Ed would realize Mia was perfect for him! I highly recommend this as a great escape read.
