This book looks at how popular young adult literature fetishizes virginity. Christine Seifert examines how and why so much romance and dystopian fiction-the two most popular genres in YA lit-have focused on what she calls "abstinence porn"-a phenomenon that has broken out since the appearance of Twilight on the market.
