This book made me create a new shelf here on Goodreads called never-to-read. It's because I wanted to express my exceeding dislike of this book, even before I even read it, which has almost never happened before. 
 Sure, I have read many summaries over the years, and of course, many of them have made me lose interest, but this one has made flat-out dislike this book, even feel aghast by the things that are written here. 
 Where to start... 
 First, people have rated it five stars without reading it. Well then, I guess I can judge it without reading it too. 
 1) Why does it always has to be a girl who has it all? Why does she have to be popular? Or if she isn't popular; why does she have to live in a small town where even though she isn't popular, every one knows her? Oh God, such a cliche. 
 2) So let's say that somehow I can bear the popularity/the spotlight on the main character. Now, let's see what is supposed to happen: the girl's mom makes a scandal and her daughter goes the same way. For heavens sake, I would like to read about a character who does everything in her power NOT TO GO THE SAME WAY! Even if shitty things happen to her all the time, I would like to read about a character who knows SHE DIDN'T do that and walk with her head high and continue on with her life as before and keep her head towards her success. But no, we are supposed to like the fact that she is on her way to becoming, for lack of a better word, a slut. I wonder how long will Parker know the love interest before she will fall into bed with him. As you remember, Jordan didn't take her time to know the guy she decided to sleep with. 
 3) OMG! There's a sexy, new, young professor at school! YAY! May be I can flirt with him too(previous four boys don't matter anymore) and we can be star crossed lovers! I think I am going to go throw up before I even finish writing all the things that bug me. 
 4) The message it sends to the world. I can't believe that a book with this type of a summary picked up an editor's/publishing house interest. Especially, the summary is written in a light/semi-sarcastic voice that will surely make girls who are, at least 15 years old pick it up and read it. And what will they learn? I'm really curious. 
 Don't get me wrong, I know that life is complicated. I know that sometimes, you just snap. 
 And I don't have anything against age differences either(for example, my boyfriend is six years older than me), but I dislike the reason behind Parker's interest in dating a lot of guys(well not dating, is it) and her professor. It's because her mom made a scandal. The throwing up urge is there again. 
 All I know is that I will not let my little sister ever lay hands on this book, because I don't want her to think that our parents' mistakes are supposed to reflect on our behavior. In addition, I don't want her to think that passing from one boy to another is acceptable because of said mistakes. Because what people read about, watch on the news, music they listen to(I had another throw up urge when I heard one of my little sister's friends-they're barely 13-sing Rihanna's song S&M-a song that is totally not appropriate for a 13-year-old to even stumble upon while listening to the radio), it tends to reflect on their opinions and behavior. 
 This book would have been a lot better if it was only about the romance between the professor and Parker. May be it could have happened for a different reason, and may be Parker wouldn't become such a slut.
