This book gives you a real-life teenage experience. Claire is just a teenage girl who wants to fit in and have the guy of her dreams. She also struggled with trying to go to a college where her parents would accept her because her sister was the favorite “golden child”. This book takes place in a small town called Pine Bluff in Arkansas. She has 2 of her main best friends, Megan and Amberly. They all try to be those pretty popular girls with jock boyfriends. This book is emotionally filled with twists and turns. For example, Claire deals with family issues after her older sister leaves for college and her little brother dies. She feels the need to reconnect with the family and put all the pieces back together. She would cope with going to alcohol-related parties with her friends and getting all twisted up with any guy she finds cute. Along with that, trying to find the perfect guy was a major accomplishment and dealbreaker for her. Whenever she got into a relationship, things either didn't feel right to her or they would break up. She had to maintain a balance between her friends, family, and relationships, all along with going to school and trying to get into a good college.
The theme of the book is family and friendship because this book focuses on friendships over boys. Megan and Claire make many “pacts” throughout the book and their friendship such as not letting guys get in the way of their friendship since they broke their bond over Luke. Throughout the book, Claire is very involved with her friends and family almost every day. As mentioned, Claire also struggles with family issues and was the person to put their family back together when they were all struggling. She makes it very clear in the book that family and friends matter most to her.
I recommend this novel because it has real-life teenage experiences of relationships, school, and friends additionally with twists and turns. However, it also is mainly about teenage romance, so if you like a good hectic romance book of teenage girls trying to find the perfect guy throughout middle school until college, you will love this novel.… (plus d'informations)
