"The Bare Naked Truth" by Bekah Hamrick Martin

I got this book from the library partly due to its scandalous cover / title but also partly due to its promise of covering difficult topics like purity from a spiritual perspective.  The way the book is outlined, there are ten chapters with each chapter covering a lie that most young women believe.  These are lies like: waiting is for wussies, boundaries don't matter, sex is okay as long as people are in love, sex is okay as long as it is safe, and so on.  While there are religious references, the bulk of this book relies on personal anecdotes from the author and multiple guest authors who share their own personal stories.  There are also statistics showing girls how saving oneself for marriage can actually lower their divorce rate.  Single, married, virgin or not, this book is a must for any woman looking to decipher the truth about dating, waiting, and God's plan for purity.  While purity is definitely pushed, this book is not judgmental or condemning for those who may have made mistakes in life.  It merely aims to reduce / prevent the physical, spiritual, and emotional pain that women get when they don't save everything for marriage.
