I read this by the pool and couldn't have picked a better spot for this sexy, rollicking good time.

Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for providing an eARC for a honest review.

Read this in a sitting! I think it'll be a perfect summer book to sit back, poolside and have tons of laughs. The two leads had great chemistry that was built on being actual friends to becoming lovers. It was flirty, fresh, and freaking hilarious. If you love the tropes: opposites attract, friends to lovers, dual-POV, romcom!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book.

This book was so easy and fun to read. The characters were really believable and cute, and the friendship was also to die for. The progression from friends to lovers through practically hands-on sex education was cute and didn't feel forced for the sake of it. Overall really loved this book and would read from the author again!

A sweet and easy read that I enjoyed. The dialogue and characterization was top-tier, and I loved the relationship between the two main characters, with a real foundation of friendship!

The characters in this are just so lovely!
The juxtaposition between Mia, free spirit, supportive mum, early adopter of sex as entertainment and Ed (oh, that fan incident- poor boy) is really clever and the friendship they have is beautiful.
The characters step off the pages and into your heart and you will be rooting for Ed as he steps out into the world of sexual relationships with every ounce of your being!

This was a really cute friends to practical sex education to lovers story! I appreciated that even though Ed was nervous he was weird for being a virgin at 28, it was never really a thing for others aside from surprise (since virginity is a construct and society really pressures teens and young adults into thinking they need to have sex by a certain age). They had good chemistry and I would read another book by this author. Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley! It comes out tomorrow, July 4. ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Don’t waste time reading lots of reviews on this book, you need to just read it! It’s an easy, lighthearted read with plenty of laughs and content to make you smile. If you don’t like any sexual references, this may not be the book for you. Think friends with benefits/sex-training in the modern world… 😉 do opposites really attract?.. 🤔

For me I’ve read a good number of Kristen’s books and enjoyed them all, but am finding this one particularly amusing. Can’t wait for the next from this author…

Kristen Bailey is one of the funniest people I know. Her books always have me in stitches and, after the Callaghan Sister series and an outstanding stand-alone titled Great Sexpectations (notice a theme there? 😜), she’s back with Sex Ed, another incredible rom-com full of laughs, lovely characters and a bit of sex (well, lots of sex. Clue is in the title! 😂).

Ed and Mia are work colleagues and best friends. When a new teacher arrives at their school, Ed shows some interest in her but, when after a drunk night out he confesses to Mia he’s still a virgin at 28, she offers to teach him everything she knows about sex so he can seduce her. Little they know the whole process will awake some unexpected feelings in them.

First of all. That title! Could it be any better? Such a great pun! You know I love a good double entendre! I made the mistake of starting this one on the bus and just a few pages in I was laughing so hard people were staring at me weird. How to explain them that it was all about a little accidente between a willy and a fan? 😅 The prologue was sooo good. The fear and awkwardness of those first times was perfectly portrayed. Also, after reading so many of her books, I feel I have a Masters Degree in genitalia synonyms! (I’m always up for expanding my vocabulary ☺️).

Ed and Mia are complete opposites. Ed is geeky, awkward, sweet and inexperienced. Mia is outgoing, fearless, messy and sexually unabashed. They are like water and oil, but yet make such a great combo. I liked them separately, but loved them together. They had incredible chemistry and you’ll fall in love with them in a matter of pages. I loved how they brought out the good in each other while growing as individuals.

If you’ve previously read some of her books, you know that Kristen is not afraid to speak openly about sex, and I adore that. She does it in a very natural, positive and unapologetic way that I think is really necessary to have in fiction. The sex scenes here were playful, funny and, sometimes, a bit awkward (but good awkward, not cringy awkward), as they are in real life.

I also loved how neither character was judged or ashamed for their sexuality or lack of. Both of them felt so real, with the good and the bad, what made them really relatable and people you would love to have as friends.

The whole cast of characters was incredible. They were charming and endearing, and the banter between them was out of this world. I was surprised by some appearances from old friends that made me squeal a little bit. 😍

One of the greatest things about Kristen’s work is that she always infuses her stories and characters with lots of heart so, even though initially this may sound like something not for you (lots of people seem to be afraid about sex talk yet), if you give it a chance you’ll discover a heartwarming and hilarious story you won’t want to end.

Incredibly charming friends to lovers (well, in fairness I guess it is a friends to teacher/student to lovers story) with the perfect mix of spicy, steam, sweet and fun, that will have you laughing your a** off. Her books are the perfect antidote for when you’re feeling down so please, Kristen, never stop writing!

Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Books for providing and eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I want to thank Netgalley and Storm publishing for letting me read Sex Ed.


I love friends to lover's trope and this one definitely delivered! I really like how it has both POV from the main characters so we can see how they are both feeling.

Thank you Net Galley and Kristen for the advanced copy in return for my honest review.

I have read all of Kristen Bailey's books, and this one didn't disappoint.

Fun loving party girl Mia is best friends with Ed. Ed is still waiting to pop his cherry. After a drunk night out Ed confesses he is still a virgin. Mia offers to teach him. That's when the fun starts.

This book has all the feels and fun you would come to expect from a Kristen book and I absolutely loved it.

It was also lovely to catch up with a couple of the Callaghan sisters, Beth and Lucy and the previous book references.
Looking forward to the next book

I loved how the story flicks back and forth from Mia's pov to Ed's. Both characters are so funny and awkward and it was nice getting both of their perspectives. But I didn't love the way they always said "the sex". It just annoyed me and i didn't think the extra word was necessary.

Overall, Sex Ed is the third book that I've read from Kristen Bailey and I swear they are getting better and better!! This was a well written feel good rom com that will literally leave you laughing out loud!!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book.

I want to thank Netgalley and Storm publishing for letting me read Sex Ed.

This book was funny from the beginning, I loved Mia and Ed. This book is sex positive and it shares some awkward moments that a lot of people can relate to. This is a great friends to lovers, and I enjoyed each character and how total opposite they are . Ed is an introvert while Mia is total extrovert, a great combo in a friendship.

Mia and Ed are teachers at the same school. They have been friends for years since they started teaching together and when Ed starts showing interest to a new teacher, Mia starts teaching Ed a few things about sex. Until this get a little out of hand.

This book will have you laughing out loud and loving every chapter, You can get into this book quickly and honestly can be finished in one sitting. Mia and Ed will have special place in my heart.

Overall the book is an amazing read, its not my type of trope normally but after reading Sex Ed im looking forward to more friends to lovers. I recommend this book to anyone who want a real good laugh and just want to enjoy the awkwardness of sex.

This book is great! I laughed, I may have had a leaky eye a time or two from laughing. The story is a bit crazy in the beginning, but by the end I was hopeful it would end the way it did. I have already added a few of her other books to my TBR.

SEX ED is such a sweet, funny, friends-to-lovers rom-com! Mia and Ed were both great characters—real, likable, and so easy to root for, both as individuals and as a couple. If you're looking for a light, heartwarming read that will have you laughing out loud from start to finish, this is the book for you! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

A lovely and cute friend-to-lovers rom-com. Mia and Ed are a delightful couple of friends, I rooted for them and had a lot of fun.
An original and well plotted story that I recommend
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Delightfully charming and witty dual point of view teacher, friends to lovers romance. Mia and Ed are two wonderfully written adorable characters that are complete opposites in personality that are best friends working in a secondary school. Ed is a geeky nearly 30 year old virgin and Mia is well, the opposite!
I grinned throughout reading this book and highly recommend for an afternoon of light reading.

Fabulous, fun, flirty and frank! Sex Ed is such a great read, light hearted, funny and down to earth!
Mia and Ed are both teachers who work together, Ed is organised,kind,friends to everyone,attractive,single but very naive especially sexually!
Mia is his chaotic, messy, astute, sexually experienced friend!
Together they hatch a plan to educate Ed sexually with Mia being his teacher! As Ed’s sexual education develops curtesy of Mias administrations they become closer and develop feelings for each other but the course of true love never runs smoothly!
Thank you netgalley for this early read.

Fun With Sex. My god this review is going to get me on so many porn bot radars, isn't it? But the title here really fits - starting with the very title of the book, "Sex Ed".... which then features a 28yo virgin named Ed being taught about sex by his wildchild best friend. The friends to lovers trope is in perfect display here, the friendship and trust there deeply established... until we get into Hallmarkie level drama at the exact point in the story you expect Hallmarkie level drama in a romcom. We even have the "interesting grandparent" trope hitting and hitting well, as well as some sisterly bonding. And yes, there is a lot of sex, pretty much all of it "on screen". So if you're not a fan of that... maybe the title here (of the book and/ or review) clued you in that this isn't the best book for you? Speaking of the sex, while not necessarily the "oh my God this is nuclear hot" type found in some other works, this was more of the playful variety that to my mind is just as important in a relationship and doesn't always get the attention it deserves in romcom books in particular. So kudos to Ms. Bailey for going that direction with it, it was clearly an inspired choice. Overall a fun tale that will offend few other than those actively looking to be offended, great for both fans of romcoms and for those looking for some level of a "palate cleanser" from darker tales. Very much recommended.

Incredibly charming, super funny, and heartwarming! The title, the cover, and the synopsis all caught my eye and this book did not disappoint!

The premise was so uniquely refreshing. Mia and Ed are great friends and colleagues and their friendship [appears to be] so platonic that she legit offers him sex ed (love the double meaning in the title too!).

I loved that Mia was unabashedly a sexual being. She owned her enjoyment of sex and spoke candidly about it. On the flip side, I also loved how opposite Ed was in that regard (and others!). He was inexperienced, he was bashful, and I just thought they were so sweet.

Also, shoutout to the community center crew because I adored them and want to be a part of their friend circle immediately! And the students. I loved the teacher and student relationships portrayed in this book.

Overall an enjoyable read that’ll make you laugh and root for the MCs!

Kristen Bailey has managed to create the perfect main characters in this book. As they say ‘perfectly imperfect’ and maybe just right for each other. I particularly liked the school setting in much of the story. The humour that came from this was so good. Sex Ed can be great fun! This book proves it.
