Can she really get ANY guy?

The first in the Turning Seventeen series. These books focus around 4 best friends: Kerri, Jessica, Maya, and Erin. This book focuses around Kerri. Kerri is beautiful and outgoing. Her friends believe she can get any guy she wants. Only problem the guy she wants is taken. But then Kerri finds out that the guy she wants, Matt, is now available. Maya is very shy about guys so Kerri gives her advice to get a guy to ask her out. So Erin decides to make a bet to see if Kerri can put her money where her mouth is. The bet is that Kerri has one week to get Matt to ask her out. So Kerri accepts. What will happen? This was an excellent book. My favorite of the whole series. The book was well written and engulfing. Kerri+Matt=YEAH!!!

A well-written young adult book

I enjoyed the characters and the situations in this young adult novel. The author touched upon some pretty sensitive subjects. I could relate to how frustrating it can be to be seventeen and in love! When Kerri makes a bet with her friends, daring her to ask a guy out, she finally wins. She asks Matt out on a date and their relationship blooms until their love is shattered by an ugly rumor. When Kerri's friend, Maya, is attacked by a male acquaintance, Kerri urges her friend to go to the police and report the crime. Kerri is also struggling with her decision regarding her absentee father. Should she contact him since he's removed himself from her life all these years? This book was a good, fast read! I kept turning those pages until I reached the end! I'd highly recommend this book to any person who enjoys YA fiction!

a WeLl WrItTeN sToRyLiNe!!

This book was by far one of the best books I have read. This author writes very well of how a teen girl is going through a rough time in her adolesent life. It talks about how the girl named Kerri & her three other best friends, Jessica, Maya, & Erin. Although this book mainly talks about Kerri's part. Her three friends believe that since she is a cheerleader and great looking, she can get any guy she wants. She can get any guy she wants but the only problem is is that there is one guy she can't get, the one she wants! So Erin desides to place a bet. On Kerri getting the guy, which is Matt.So the loser has to pay for pizza at Bernie's Pizza. So she accepts the challenge. Soon enough they are together. And Kerri begins to fell that Matt really is the one. Whenever she is around him, she feels chemistry between them. And she believes he feels the same way. Until he finds out about the bet. Big mistake! Now he believes she just went out with him because of some bet. While on the other hand, she hears from her absentee father. Who after leaving her family after seven years contacts her. If that didn't make it worse, since Maya liked this guy named T.J. Kerri had pushed her to go out with him. Well it worked, but the REALLY BAD thing is he tryed to hurt her. He broke the law of sexual assault. And she & her other friends had also gotten into a fight. Now Kerri's life is just a big mess. With love problems, family problems, and friend problems. This is just too much for a girl to handle. So to find out what happens read this book about a teen who is going through the thoughest time in her life.
