This book was just horrible, boring and lame. :\
And I hate the fact a girl is a slut when she has sex, while a guy is a player/god. Seriously people?
The main character was ok, but that was everything.
Not my kind of book, and I am glad I am done with it.

Although the content is "mature" I would recommend this for a young teen audience because the message then would be more valuable. I didn't really like this book. The characters were weak and the lessons learned were kind of givens. The wedding dresses made me roll my eyes, it was too over-the-top.

This book was wonderful! I love the fact that in the beginning, all these girls have guys and their lives revolve around them, and in the end it's just all about hanging with the girls and if there happens to be a boy hanging around, then that's just fine. I think Audrey is a really realistic character, and she and Ash's friendship is so genuine. Even after she was caught in a compromising position, Ash stuck by her side and would pound anyone's face in if they messed with her.

Another YA novel. Trashy and perfect for being laid up in bed with the flu. So glad I'm not in high school any more...things just seem way tougher.

This book should be required reading in high school. And for all humans. Ever.

Re-read this book for the second time few days back and unfortunately it has lost its initial charm, which I'm attributing to age. I first read this when I was 14 or 15, I think -- when I still believed in things like rainbows, unicorns and love at first sight. Now 20, I'm much more cynical and noticed many flaws about the story that I didn't before.
I don't think there was enough focus on the photograph, how it spread, the problems it presented to the characters, or the impact it had on their lives. It should have been the main conflict of the book, but instead felt more like a plot device for the relationship between Luke and Audrey. The problem was readily swept under the rug, it wasn't convincing who spread the photograph and why, etc. Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown did a much better job in tackling a similar issue.
As interesting as the relationship between the two main characters was (it was what made me remember the book after so many years that I felt a strong need to re-read it), I guess I just don't feel the same way as I did anymore. Old me fawned over the characters and how cute they were, but present me found them unrealistic and unbelievable. It is however, what I liked most about the book, over all the other shallow and unmemorable characters.
An entertaining read regardless, though I do miss the charm of childhood and first/young love. First reading: 4 stars, second reading: 3 stars.

I barely remember the story of this book. This is one of the books that I experimented on when I was new with YA and testing the water whichever genre fits me. I'm racking my brain whether I can recollect a scene of the story but I can't. I read several of the review and it was about a girl, a good girl in fact that does everything right until she falls in love with Luke which is a playboy and everything starts there. That's the only thing I can say about this book I read this like 4 years ago everything is foggy or completely gone.
