A Virgin's Guide to Everything
From Sushi to Sample Sales - A Novice's Handbook to Doing it Right

by Lauren McCutcheon with a foreword by Veronica Chambers



      What is the one thing people forget to tell you about your first gynecologist visit? Who would you see at a spa? What should you pack? How should you prepare for a cocktail party? First date? Do you tip a massage therapist?

A Virgin's Guide to Everything by Lauren McCutcheon has the answers. In any new experience, there are questions: What should I do? What should I wear? What should I say? Everyone learns from their first time. Once you know what to expect, you can be better prepared for the second time around. It is how the novice person becomes experienced.

However, A Virgin's Guide to Everything spares readers from learning the ropes alone. There is no more anxiety, hesitation, or questioning. Using a truthful and comedic approach, the guide provides answers and tells readers exactly what to expect in various situations.

The guide introduces readers to go-to girls. Go-to girls are the experienced ones. They have tried it, lived it, and perfected it. Through various interviews, go-to girls give the advice and offer tips to better prepare readers for any first time experience whether it be wine tasting or money management. They challenge you to experience and enjoy life. Lauren McCutcheon prepares readers for any life experience and shares many of life's simple pleasures. The guide is an adventure in its own right. If you weren't thinking of trying anything new before reading it, you will have tried something new after reading it.
