Doing It

Dino, Jonathan, and Ben have got some problems, mostly with Jackie, Deborah, and Alison. Dino's finally convinced Jackie, the most beautiful girl in school, to go out with him. She drives him mad with lust, but she won't go all the way and relieve Dino of his desperately unwanted virginity. Jonathan likes Deborah. She's smart and funny and she makes him feel very sexy, but she's kind of plump and his mates won't let him hear the end of it. Also, a certain swelling has him convinced that he may have cancer of the penis. Ben's problem is in a different category altogether-- he's been seduced by Alison, the pretty young drama teacher at school. And what seems like a dream come true is actually making him miserable. Melvin Burgess has written a daringly honest and often hilarious account of contemporary teenage life, and the ups and downs that surround doing it.
