I did not finish this book...there were several things towards the beginning of the story that just had me laughing, it was so ludicrous. For example, the Big Bad Cajun Motorcycle Gang (also known as the Sharks and the Jets...oh, wrong story). They speak in heavily-accented Cajun patois, they have bikes with stolen, mismatched parts! They wear motorcycle jackets, their hair falls in greasy locks over their eyes! They rumble up to their new school in a crowd of big, bad, wolfery and start chatting up and soliciting all the pretty girls. 
 Aside from the dirt-poor, uneducated, rude Cajun stereotyping and the cliched bad boys, nevertheless, I could have tolerated the minor absurdity if there had been some promise to a compelling story, but no. I'm not going to waste my time. 
 Here are a few quotes very early on in the story that made up my mind for me. 
 "Beside him was a couple on a bike--a kid in camo pants and a girl in a pleather miniskirt. The big boy helped her off the bike, easily swinging her up-- 
 'Wheh-hell,' Catherine said, 'good to know her panties are hot pink. Shocked she's wearing them, actually. Classy with a capital K.' 
 Mel nodded thoughtfully. 'I finally understand who buys vajazzling kits.' 
 I foresee slut-shaming in the future. Not a fan. 
 "Then Weasel zeroed in on me with a smirk. 'Ain't you dat jolie girl in dat Porsha?' His Cajun accent was as thick as any I'd ever heard. 'Turn around, you, and hike up dat dress, so I can tell for true.'" 
 ...really? REALLY? 
 "'You're laughing at me?' He clenched those big, taped fists like he was just dying to hit something. Most likely my face. 
 'Tu p'tee pute,' he sneered to my face. You little bitch." 
 The above quotes came from the projected love interest. A violent, misogynistic asshole. No. No. I'm just not going to bother.
