Ratings and reviews

It was an okay read. I liked the plot. I loved the friendship between Jordan and Sam - playful and supportive. But the characterisation leaves a lot to be desired. All the characters have interesting stories to tell - each is facing his/her own struggles (financial problems, the loss of a loved one, parental pressure, etc.). Yet they are all immature and shallow. Jordan is the most juvenile of all the characters, going around punching the guys. Also, I didn't like the obsession with casual sex - the book lacked romance. Jordan goes from first kiss to losing her virginity all in one night. Lastly, the writing isn't great either. Almost every sentence contains a first-person pronoun.

I loved this book, it was an awesome story line. With a lot of twists to make it interesting, and to keep you wanting more. I loved the twist at the ending. It was something that I did not expect which was a great ending to a great book. I really hope that the author does a second book to define what happenes in jordans college life and how it all plans out for her.

I am a girl who plays sports and is juggling highschool life with it. This book related to me and it was so good I could read it for hours!
