Trust?

Kenya Clarke had what she believed to be the perfect relationship, that is until she caught her boyfriend in the act of cheating on her, on their anniversary nonetheless. Upset and heartbroken, she meets Scott Hutson. He is handsome, intelligent, and has a great personality, yet Kenya cannot fully commit to the relationship because of her previous experience. So she devises a plan to test Scott to see if he would ever cheat on her. In the end she learns a valuable lesson about "playing with love" and trusting others.This book gives an accurate portrayal of first love and heartbreak. The characters are well developed, but seem a bit too "perfect", with the exception of the cheating boyfriend. In the end it is a wonderful story that explorers issues of trust, vulnerability, and love amongst teenagers. I would recommend this book to both young adults who are new to relationships and dating, in addition to those who may have had relationships go wrong and are dealing with trust issues.Reviewed by Latoya Carter-QawiyyThe RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

A well-written realistic novel that teaches values

The author of this book has very well developed writing skills, yet she is very much in touch with the feelings of a teen-aged girl (and boy, for that matter). She sets a scene with a deft sense of realism and writes dialogue like a young Hemingway. I gave this book to a 16-year-old girl who later insisted I read it. I'm glad she did. It was great!
