I seem to be in the minority! Even if Bianca's voice is realistic, I found her completely irritating. Maybe I'm just too old, but I really couldn't stand this book!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-4706449216272837392010-10-27T09:14:57.644-04:002010-10-27T09:14:57.644-04:00Thanks for the lovely comment! =) I definitely thi...Thanks for the lovely comment! =) I definitely think there were some good aspects to it, but some parts of it also definitely worried me... I think I wanted to point them out especially since most every review I read was totally glowing.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-77329002815522886732010-10-26T23:10:32.397-04:002010-10-26T23:10:32.397-04:00I went into this book a little (actually, a lot) c...I went into this book a little (actually, a lot) concerned over the subject matter. It was something that could easily be done in very poor taste, but I thought Keplinger kept it pretty classy, while still fairly realistic. It seems like that sort of thing happens way too often in teenage society nowadays, so it was really nice to see someone address the issue in a non-judgmental way, while still pointing out that it was NOT a good idea. I definitely agree though - passing the pregnancy scare off to someone else was a bit of a cop out. The resolution came pretty quickly too, once the whole realization set in. I would have liked to see more development there as well.Casey (The Bookish Type)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17124722748517656056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-20233331265610927692010-10-25T18:29:29.753-04:002010-10-25T18:29:29.753-04:00I still need to read this!

I hate when I build up a book because of all 5 star reviews and then it was a disappointing! Thanks for an honest review!<br /><br />- Jamie at The Broke and the BookishJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905075906530067471noreply@blogger.com
