This book was a very fun and quick romantic comedy that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I loved the fact that it started with flashbacks to the two main characters' first times (or attempts at first times), as it set the mood for the whole book. I liked the use of the two narrators; while the story was mostly about Ed, I found Mia's perspective and point of view and sisterly relationships to be very fun to read and learn about.

I also loved the fact that both Mia and Ed are teachers - that made the whole teaching plot line even more fun to me. And I think this is one of those 'teaching relationship' books that wasn't completely cringey to me and the characters were able to pull it off without it being awkward, which I really appreciated.

The only glaring problem I had with this book was with the character of Caitlin - maybe I missed this part, but I feel like Caitlin and Ed never had the conversation about what they were to each other and whether they were exclusive or not, so I found it very weird that she immediately became the villain because she was also with Tommy. Of course, she should have been painted as a villain for those other things that she did, but that felt really out of pocket, especially coming from Mia, who was so casual-sex-positive.

Overall, a very fun friends to lovers romance that I enjoyed!

This read was SO good. Hilarious, well written, steamy, and so sweet. I loved every second of this one.

This was a cute book. It wasn't necessarily an original concept but it was done quite well.

Mia and Ed have been friends for years - - ever since they began teaching together years before. And that's it - - they're friends....just friends. Of course they could never be more than friends, right? Until one day it seems that maybe they could be and it confuses everything.

A very well-done and inventive friends to lovers with a few small twists along the way.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The narration was done well. It was an enjoyable audiobook that kept my attention. 4 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to read and review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

Book boyfriend - check, cute funny moments - check, love story you wish would happen to you - check. Romantic comedy perfection - check check! Mia and Ed are the couple you root for, swoon worthy plot.

I have to confess I couldn’t finish this. I like easy unchallenging fare as much as the next person but the language was just a bit too silly even for me. I have never spoken like this and don’t know anyone who does.

“ I take my phone out of my bag. Is it too soon to text the hot man I snogged outside the concert venue? Possibly. There was definitely some charm about him, potential, a very grabbable arse”

Thankyou to Kristen and to the publisher storm publishing for such a funny witty book .

I've rated this book brilliant witty book 5 stars

This was utterly hilarious. One of the funniest books I’ve read. I laughed out loud so many times reading it. Also, so endearing and heartwarming 🥰 I just LOVED these characters - Ed was adorable and Mia was so relatable. A totally perfect rom com and a very cute epilogue.

What to expect:

- quite spicy
- lessons…
- opposites attract
- workplace romance
- hilarious narrative and banter

Poor Ed needs some Sex Ed! His teacher coworker and friend Mia takes on the challenge to get him out of his comfort zone. She can be wild, bold, and is the opposite of calm and organized Ed.

I thought this book was going to be more raunchy than it was and I was gladly surprised how hilarious so many parts were instead. This book really takes on high school drama, but with the teachers instead. The kids are the more logical ones. Share some crisps and love while reading this book!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

Sex Ed is a well written, very funny and brilliant rom-com with a great cast of characters who feel like friends and I loved it!!!

If you are looking for a really funny book that will make you laugh out loud then this is it.

Highly recommended and an easy 5 stars!

I have a new favorite author to add to the list! Kristen Bailey is a romcom queen, this book was so funny! I can't wait to read more of her works. I loved Mia and Ed's friendship from the start. They are total opposites but mesh perfectly together! The characters that were meant to be likable were, while the antagonists were simply despicable. Sex Ed was a quick and easy read and I found myself a little sad when it was over. This was definitely a hilarious friends to lovers I am so glad I did not miss!

I loved this. Loved loved loved. I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed out loud this many times while reading a book. Kristen Bailey is a legitimately hilarious storyteller. And Mia and Ed! Oh my god, be my friends. Ed is a shy and lovely teacher who happens to be a bit uptight and reserved - and he happens to be a virgin. His best colleague Mia sees a whole other side of him ready to let loose - and she’s happy to assist. Mia is a delightfully outgoing and charming person who’s quite at ease with herself. I could take some confidence lessons from her. The book takes some turns I wasn’t expecting, and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I like how they didn’t build sex up to be this huge terrifying prospect like they did in 40 Year Old Virgin (which is one of my favorite movies and which is smartly mentioned in an early chapter.) This may be Ed’s sex education, but there’s no doubt that Mia learns more about herself as well. Highly recommend. Just make sure you’re easily able to muffle laughter while reading next to someone asleep.

Thank you to NetGalley, Storm Publishing, and Kristen Bailey for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Mia and Ed have been friends ever since they started working together as teachers at the same school. Truly great friends, until one day, Ed lets slip that he is still a virgin at 28, and awkward around women he is interested in. Mia steps in to help her friend, teaching him everything he needs to know to please a woman. It's funny, cringe-worthy, and sweet all at once.

I did indeed like this friends-to-lovers story, but did have a few instances where I disliked the miscommunication that was used to further the story. That's always my least favorite trope, and while I understand its use, it is never my favorite. However, I laughed (while squirming uncomfortably at times) and got a tear in my eye at the overall cuteness of this friendship. It was a light-hearted and fun read with spicy elements.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for a fair and honest review!

HUGE thank you to NetGalley, Kristen Bailey and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I enjoyed this one a lot! I wasn't sure how I would feel about a MC who wasn't dominant but Kristen Bailey nailed this book. Best friends to lovers with a virgin MMC who isn't an annoying push-over! WELL DONE! I adore Ed honestly because he is so genuine.

Ed and Mia teach at the same school and started at the same time. Even though they're absolute opposites, he is quiet/reserved/tidy and she is loud/outgoing/messy, they become very good friends. One night when Mia finds out that Ed is more than just quiet and reserved, he's actually a virgin, she offers to help him get out of his own head so he can make a move on the new math teacher at school. Can you see where this is going? You definitely want to give this one a read.

OMG laugh out loud funny and I had such a great time reading this! Oh don't get me wrong it was steamy too. But I absolutely loved this. I read it in one sitting. And I can't stop thinking about it.
I just reviewed Sex Ed by Kristen Bailey. #SexEd #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL]

I absolutely adored this book! It's a romcom that genuinely deserves to be labelled "laugh-out-loud", because I really did - many times.
I loved Mia and Ed from the moment they appeared on the page. Mia is so refreshing. She's full of fun and so uninhibited! I mean, really! She's also kind and warm and generous and thoughtful. The sort of woman you'd love as your best friend.
As for Ed - so sweet! I mean, who wouldn't love Ed? I loved how he gradually came out of his shell - and I do mean gradually - and discovered that letting go could bring him so much joy. And no, I don't just mean in the bedroom.
This book shows that opposites really can attract. Mia and Ed couldn't be more different from each other, but somehow you just know they'd be perfect for each other, and you're rooting for them to realise that the whole way through the story.
A friends with benefits novel that honestly lightened my heart and cheered me up no end. Can't wait to read what Kristen Bailey writes next!

A hilarious read that I thoroughly enjoyed! Warm and witty with plenty of heart, Kristen Bailey’s writing is the perfect pick-me-up! 5 sparkling stars!

A VERY easy 5 star review!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely fantastically funny!

I have been anxiously waiting for Kristen Bailey's next book to be released!

Kristen writes characters that are so relatable, funny, charming and endearing.
I always feel so comforted by her books and this one is no exception!

Mia and Ed won my heart and I'm sure they'll win yours too!

It was such a brilliant read and I highly recommend!
It does contain a lot of sexual talk, so if that's not your thing, I don't recommend!

Thank you Kristen for another fab book! 😍❤️

Oh my god! I LOVED this, had me guffawing with laughter all the way through, then crying at the end when it all came the way it had to. I loved the characters, particularly Ed. Perfect gentleman, and I bet his abs would be just as ripped as any PE teacher -- given maybe a little rub down from a special English Lit teacher... Perfect romcom. Recommended.

Thank you #Netgally for the advanced copy!

As always, Kristen Bailey keeps the reader laughing outloud with this new rom com. I loved her previous series following the Callaghan sisters, so it was nice to see a little shoutout/references to Beth scattered throughout. When Mia decides to help out her friend Ed, who is a 28 year old version, most of us knew how this was going to play out in classic romcom style. However, there were a few twists and turns that I did not see coming! I thought all the characters were well thought out and I was so frustrated with Caitlin! Which is what the author wanted us to feel. Great hilarious read!

She does it again. Plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout the book. Imagine being a virgin and being taught about sex. That's where Ed finds himself.
Do they develop feelings for each other or is it just sex?
