Other parallel plots in the book help entertain the reader. There is Felicia's liberal-minded, bookstore-owning mother who is divorced from Felicia's now remarried father. Then there's Kat, a blossoming violinist who has a Russian accompanist who seems to forget her tender young age and develops a disturbing crush on her. If that's not enough, there's Randall, a closet martial arts student, who tries to fight his romantic feelings for Felicia.

I began reading this book because I had a teacher question the content due to the suggestive title. I finished the book because I became drawn into the story and wanted to find out what happened. This a fun, very innocent, book about young love. I would definitely recommend it for 14 and 15-year-old girls.
