I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.

When Hailey Crawford gets dumped AND fired in the same day, she decides to do something truly crazy, like hop a plane to a legendary beach paradise 10,000 miles away from her D.C. home. She can't wait to leave all her problems behind and learn to surf like she's always wanted. The trouble is, her surfing instructor Dylan Shane is so hot she can't concentrate. His crisp Australian accent, washboard abs and sleeve of tattoos are mesmerizing. Too bad he's such a jerk. Only after Hailey finds herself mistaken for an "escort" by the local news do Dylan's real feelings come to light. But he's got a big secret of his own, and the truth could change both their lives forever.
