Purity by Jackson Pearce

The blurb as seen on Goodreads:
Release Date: April 24, 2012
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
224 Pages

A novel about love, loss, and sex -- but not necessarily in that order. 

Before her mother died, Shelby promised three things: to listen to her father, to love as much as possible, and to live without restraint. Those Promises become harder to keep when Shelby's father joins the planning committee for the Princess Ball, an annual dance that ends with a ceremonial vow to live pure lives -- in other words, no "bad behavior," no breaking the rules, and definitely no sex. 

Torn between Promises One and Three, Shelby makes a decision -- to exploit a loophole and lose her virginity before taking the vow. But somewhere between failed hookup attempts and helping her dad plan the ball, Shelby starts to understand what her mother really meant, what her father really needs, and who really has the right to her purity.

I've heard so many great things about this book and I loved the other book I read from the author. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Rise of the Guardians (2012)

When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world. 

I know this will be another excellent release from DreamWorks Pictures! I can't wait to see it!
