threw this book out after she gets knocked up. i mean how stupid can she be? seriously, i couldn't bring myself to finish it. the author was definately trying to hard, the old, "i can wear a dress, but let me wear converse with them because i'm a free-spirited rebel" BS. i found the "strange visitor" before prom was a dead give away he's evil, and her "best friend who she never realized was all she wanted and was right there in front of her the whole time" was bland, prudish, and awkward. i thought her choice to keep the child, after seeing her insane, homeless, trash throwing mother, was misguided as well as thoughtless. i can predict the ending of this one, not that i'd actually want to continue to the end.
