* BrokenAesop: The novel series has an almost shockingly negative view of sex, which is perhaps appropriate given a teenage demographic, but it's worth noting that most of the people who have sex are either bad/unstable people, or are punished for it.
** Tibby is punished for having sex for the first time with a pregnancy scare that scars her so much she breaks up with Brian.
** Bridget having sex with Eric is an obviously reckless action driven by her mental illness; it also makes her miserable.
** Lena loses her virginity to Leo and becomes depressed that it wasn't with her one true love.
** Kostas and Lena don't have sex their second summer together, but he reveals that he ''had'' had sex with a previous girlfriend, who was ObviouslyEvil and faked a pregnancy to BabyTrap him. Basically, the message is that good people only have sex with their one true love, and even then, you better watch out!
