Bleed by Laurie Faria Stolarz

So, I loooved the concept of this book. I loved the way it was written: in a collection of interweaving short stories-- each character voicing one chapter, but appearing in at least one more.
However. The actual plot. Ugh.
Can you shove more casual sex down our throats? Gosh. You know, this doesn't really reflect real life, which makes me mad. I mean, sure, there are some teens who are like this, but really? No. So when I find books like this, where kids are having sex with their best friend's boyfriend after one simple conversation, it makes me mad, because teens are influenced by things they read. And this is unrealistic look at teenage life.
Just saying.
So. It gets a star for the writing style. And it lacks all the other stars because it was awful.
