Review Detail

Reader reviewed by K.W.

This book stands out for having a more realistic tone than many YA books on the market. Jess is easy to identify with unlike the Gossip Girl characters or the Clique ones. Also, her parents are very realistic with the funny and well-written feminist mother and the immature father who isn't exactly someone she can count on.

The most painful part of the book (funny yes, gut-wrenching, oh yeah) is the bathroom scene where there's a camera in there while she's topless. I was dying for her! It does get resolved, but I was literally sweating as I read.

The relationships with boys in the book are also very realistic-the one you fantasize about and get a chance with, but nothing happens and the friend who suddenly wants to be more even though you still see him as a buddy.

This is a fun read that takes you into the home and puts you right into the story.
