Customer Reviews

Good and DRAMA!!!

I enjoyed this book. It was about the drama of high school and boyfriend/girlfriend problems. The author threw in the drama of being an alcoholic when you are only a teen. The book wasn't very detailed. It would jump from person to person, but when it did it had good details. It went from problem to problem to fast. It needed to be more thorough, but other than that it was a good book.

Control Freak

Conner needs to forget about Alanna. He tries to help her and all she can do is dump him? She always gets mad at him for no reason then go cries to him and he takes her back. CONNER NEEDS TO LEARN THAT ALANNA DOESNT DESERVE HIM AND THAT LIZ IS WAY MUCH BETTER. The book good so i would recomend u buy it if u read all the others.

Not Bad

Well I thought that this book was actually pretty good. Although there was way too much Conner and Alana in this book, especially too much Alana. There were several times in this book where I wanted to yell shutup at Conner, I just don't understand why he has any friends. I hope that Elizabeth never takes this jerk back, especially with the way he treated her in this book and in the others. I would've liked to have read more about Maria and Ken. I was kind of surprised with what happened to Maria, let's just say that I was expecting more to happen, I think that the author quickly wrapped up this storyline too soon. The Jessica/Trent/Tia/Jeremy storyline was kind of annoying, but it gets better near the end, I hope that the author won't go down this road again. I was also kind of hoping to read more about Meagan and Todd.

pretty good

This book is up to the usual SVH senioryear quality, but I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for more about Elizabeth. When is she going to get a new boyfriend and forget about Conner? For those of you who have always hated Conner, there's a nice part where he gets a little of what's due to him.

Too Much Conner!

This book was OK,except that there was way too muchConner and Alanna in it. Conner seriously needs to get a grip. He can't live everyone's life for them. Alanna seriously HAS to get some seriuos help SOON! She's got a bad enough life already- stop drinking, honey. Remember all those headaches and the naeusa? I don't think you want to live that every day! Her parents are HUGE liars- Alanna is just a Straight-F girl who's got serious drinking problems. They've gotta learn to face that and GET RID OF THAT ALCOHOL! Those people just don't know (or care)what's good for Alanna. Megan can date Todd if she wants to- Conner can't control her life. Elizabeth has to get a boyfriend sooner or later, and I hope it's Conner. That boy needs to get Alanna out of his life for good!
