I loved how Polly's relationship with her stepfather and mother was described, particularly her mother. I also liked how each chapter was named for the guy she was involved with during that point in her life. However, it almost got to the point where I wanted to see a chapter called Polly, because she started fading in the book for me. It just became more and more apparent that she didn't seem to have many defining characteristics--she just sort of took on the characteristics of the boys for whom the chapters were named.I read that the author attended the same high school Polly did, and lived around the same area around the same time and was into the same music scene. This makes me wonder if Polly's lack of definition came from the fact that she was too much a part of the author--if the author couldn't quite distinguish Polly clearly because she was Polly.The book could have stood to be condensed a bit, especially as Polly didn't seem to learn or grow much from boy to boy. I read that Polly originated from a series of unrelated essays the author had written and then decided to combine into a book. I think it mostly went together very cohesively, except for that lack of growth. It was like she was starting over each time.Fortunately, Polly's growth was apparent in her relationships with her mother and stepfather--and those were the scenes I enjoyed and that felt most relevant to her character.Overall I did enjoy the book and am glad I read it. Despite the issues I had with the plot development, I do like the way the author writes. ### ⭐⭐ an awful slut *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 8, 2007* I bought this book because it had been recommended by Planned Parenthood as a realistic depiction of teen-age sex life, plus the story included the protagonist visiting a PP clinic for birth control. As the mother of 12 and 14 year old girls, I thought it would be good to preview the book and let them read something gritty if it was actually realistic. However, I thought the protagonist was awful, a TERRIBLE example of how to live one's life re: sex and drugs and school. I would not recommend this book to anyone except maybe someone who had been through the same kind of rocky adolescence -- certainly not someone entering adolescence!I do not think this book is very realistic either, since the protagonist is supposedly a young teenager who goes out to all kinds of punk rock concerts by herself -- who lets their kids roam around like that? who ever did?? Anyway, I did not like the book and do not see any redeeming qualities in it except maybe as a horrible warning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Triumph *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on August 9, 2016* It is not often, in the history of Western Civilization, that a book comes along like this one. "Polly" is a monumental tour de force, enthralling, poignant, and true. Okay, that's over the top, but seriously, this is a wonderful book about a high school girl's experiencing the "joy" of boys and growing up and learning things about herself the hard way. Set in the DC punk rock/hardcore era of the early to mid 90's, his book is honest, funny, a little gritty, and real. I would recommend "Polly" to any girl navigating this part of her life, or any parent who wants a glimpse at a world they may have forgotten. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/15718320-polly](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/15718320-polly) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
