Pasadena by Sherri L. Smith

4.0

Pasadena was a real quick read for me. I really enjoy reading this book even with my dislike for the main character Jude (honestly there was no characters were like able in this book). What I like about the book is the author Sherri L. Smith captured how teens interact with everyone while covering intense subjects like sex, abuse, drugs and suicide. I would have seen more development with the characters (especially Jude's relationship with her mom and mom's bf) but the book was less than 300 pages, so that is less than likely (especially with a mystery plot). This was my first time reading a book by Smith and I look forward to other books by the author.
