Great book! I'm definitely going to encourage my sister to pick this up before I take it back to the library. Anybody who enjoyed North Of Beautiful should definitely give this a try.
Overall, a really sweet, tender love story. No big social issues, no background agenda- just a well-written, awesome story.
As soon as Kelsey lied about being a virgin, I knew what they'd been referring to in the aftermath sections the entire time. I mean, how can you possibly think that's not going to backfire? I do think that they did the right thing by spending some time apart, though. They were both upset and angry, and they were only going to say more stupid things and get each other more upset if they tried to talk it out right then. Oh, darn it, I sound like the Guidance Counselor Broken Record Spiel. Anyway, I loved how they both tried to take the blame for what happened at Face It Down Day.It was really sweet that they still cared enough about each other to make the attempt, even though they were fighting and didn't get to really talk through everything until after the superintendent dismisses them from his office.
Rielle, I can't quite figure out. Is she intentionally cruel, or just too obsessed with her own popularity standing at school to have any real friends? She did flat-out lie when Kelsey called her. Saying she was at her grandmother's house to avoid her (former) friend
is the action of someone who is manipulative and cruel. And going to the
mall to hang out with her friends right after she pulled off the
deception? No conscience at all. She was laughing as if she didn't have a
care in the world.
