This is a book aimed toward the teen demographic, and it hits the mark well. Karla is no longer the new student when Neil arrives at the school. At first, Karla finds Neil interesting but not her type. However, a solid friendship grows between the two students. To compound matters, Ashley likes Neil also, and her friend Maggie tries her best to keep Karla away. This goes on until Ashley has a tantrum at the dance about Neil and Karla’s blossoming relationship. Is this enough to keep Neil or will Ashley lose him over her actions? The story is interesting but moves slowly. The character of Karla is typical of any teenager, as is the character of Ashley. The story shows how one can be friends and not realize a deeper relationship is growing. In addition, Karla does not want Neil as a boyfriend because he is not her type (he is on the plump, or chunky, side. She finally learns that there is no real “type” for her (or anyone, for that matter) and to find what you are looking for, you need to look beyond the surface. That in itself is a great lesson for the book’s teen demographic. I found the book very enjoyable to read, though I am way past the intended demographic. I recommend this story to all teens, because it will interest them and will also demonstrate some solid lessons for life. I received this from Library Thing to read and review. ( )

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is geared toward the young teenage demographic. This is a great book with relatable characters. It touches on situations that teenagers face. The storyline was well developed. The only real fault I found were the numerous grammatical errors. Other than that I loved the book and look forward to more from the author. ( )
