I bought this in ebook version but I regret it. I'm disappointed. When I read the pitch I really thought it would be different. I don't know... maybe I was waiting for too much.
I agree with you, some things were predictable.

It's nice to have a 'no brainer' book every now and again. Great review, as always.

I also had the same problem when I read Hannah Moskowitz's Invisible Summer. It was supposed to be a story about failing relationship in family but in the end, sex related stuffs enveloped everything and that took away the joy of reading the book :(

Blodeuedd & Fiction Vixen - If the book wasn't so heavy on sex, I probably would have enjoyed it more. I don't read YA for steamy romance. I turn to adult novels for that.

Mama Kitty - For me, it was definitely a book I had to lose the "mom hat" in order to read. I went in with an open mind and was expecting a whimsical read and I think that's why I wasn't too disappointed.

Casey - I'm used to the more riveting, coming of age and less sex in YA novels so this one was a bit different for me. If I had known prior to reading it that it was so focused on sex, I probably would have passed on it.

I thought this sounded like a fun caper -- based on the title alone =) Can't wait to read it! I'm kind of sad to hear it's so sex-focused though. Honestly, there are other things to talk about in a YA book!

This one looks cute, but as a mom of a young one (5), I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle a book with someone losing their virginity or lying to their parents so heavily. While I'm totally aware both happen (I did both), I'd like to stay in my bubble just a little while longer. I'll keep it in mind when I'm ready to make the leap though. :) Thanks for the review!

Yikes, sorry you didn't like this one. I don't care for YA books that focus on sex etc. I'll probably skip this one.

It started so good but then I came to that did not like part. Nope not into books where there is a lot of focus in sex and losing your virginity

This is on my TBR list so thanks for the review.
