Review: Destination Unknown by:Amy Clipston

About the Book:
It's senior year, and Whitney Richards is tired of the constant pressures to be perfect. When she gets a D in Calculus, her mother immediately hires a tutor, worried Whitney won't get into the 'right' college---her alma mater---with imperfect grades. Her tutor, Taylor, is a quiet, mysterious boy who is unlike anyone Whitney has met before. But Taylor's rougher upbringing has her mother and friends discouraging any type of relationship. Tired of having to play a part for everyone else, Whitney quits the cheerleading squad that once defined her social identity, and begins spending more time with Taylor. Her mom and friends worry Whitney is making a huge mistake, and even Taylor begins to show concern for some of her choices. But for the first time, Whitney is in the driver's seat of her life. Will she be able to find her identity---and God's plan for her life---before she throws everything away?

My Review:
Whitney Richards, aka the popular one, the captain of the cheer squad, the girl everyone wanted to be. She had the captain of the football team as a boyfriends but he broke up with her on Valentines Day, the one day that's suppose to be about love and caring for one another. On the bright side, it's almost graduation, but she is also failing calculus and has to get a tutor. A tutor, she's been tutoring kids for years and now she has to get a tutor. He is a very intelligent boy, very handsome, but seems to have it in for her. He act's as if he had something better to do then mess with her.

Taylor's life has never been easy, ever since his father left he's been in-charge of his sister and has been steadily picked on by fellow students. He didn't have time to teach people who felt they didn't need help, no matter how pretty she is. She wouldn't have any trouble getting in to a good college with that one bad grade, she was like any other popular girl. But he soon noticed how she only wanted to hep others, and enjoyed it greatly. She was unlike all those other popular girls, she understands her mistakes and wants to fix her wrongs. She's perfect even though she really isn't.
