I felt as if losing one's virginity was taken very casually in this story, and I kept hoping that there would be a big moral lesson at the end of the book.

Hmm. Whereas if I had a daughter (I wish I could, but can't), I would want her to read books that reinforce that virginity isn't that big a deal in and of itself. I'm tired of every book and movie out there having SUPER VIRGIN POWERS invoked as reasons for why the Smurfette in the plot is even nominally important.
Speaking of, I recommend Valenti's "The Purity Myth" for an engaging discussion of why there is no medical definition of "virginity".
