Wow! I have to say that I enjoyed this book more than any of the others we have read thus far. I could hardly put the book down because I always wanted to know what was going to happen next. The characters were easy to imagine and related closely to many of the friends I had in high school. I really liked the fact that the main male characters were intelligent and proud of it. They may have not been the most popular guys in school but they were not upset about it. This made the characters much more believable, to me. The main girl characters were easy to believe as well because it showed they were flawed individuals even though they were the most popular in the school.
This book will be a great read for any person in high school, male and female. The language is not over the top but is what you would typically her in a high school. The book is fast paced and keeps ones attention throughout the story. I feel the story itself appeals to the high school age group because of the road trip, proms, and party's with alcohol. And in each instance the author makes each situation believable and not blowing it out of proportion in an attempt to appeal to younger generation.
The plot was strong and enveloping which makes one want to continue reading and hard to put down. The book is well written and written in a way that will help YA readers keep up with characters and many sub plots. I cannot wait to recommend this book to one of our teenage readers at the library and I hope it will be a male. I would really like to get some feedback from an teenage male reading this book. I think this book, by far, would be the most appealing to teenage boys out of all we have read so far. Two thumbs up!
