Summary: A normal kid trying to grow up
Review: A Review by Steven

Whit the main character in the story I don't know why but he has a problem with girls. I think he should just ask a girl to go out with him. He is also having a hard time with his parents because they are getting a divorce. I know how he feels because that has already happened to me, but he is just a normal kid trying to grow up in a teenage life.

One part I think is funny about this book is how whit has so much trouble trying to get a girl to go out with him. He is so clumsy when it comes to talking to girls that I find it quite funny.
One part I don't like about the book is that whit's parents are getting a divorce. It really hurts him. But he will get over it soon. Another part that I disliked is that he finally when he gets a girlfriend she dumps him instantly and goes out with his other friend.

I would recommend this book to 8th graders to about 10th graders who like dramatic and yet funny books.

Summary: I couldnt put it down!
Review: This book is one of the best books i have ever read. It is definately one of Rachel Vails best. She has shown that she not only understands the mind of teenage girls, but also boys. I reccomend this book to girls around the age of 13 and above.

Summary: Funny, sad, down-to-earth: real.
Review: Very much enjoyed this book & the sympathetic protagonist. Whit's SUCH a decent guy, with good instincts & wisdom, he just doesn't know it yet. So being 13 & awkward, he makes mistakes that made me cringe with recognition. Not knowing how to confront his bigoted friend, though he's disgusted & disillusioned...making wrong, goofy romantic moves...unsure how to deal with his obviously suffering mom. Lots of uncomfortable stuff that, like real life, doesn't get totally resolved but DOES lead to growth & change. Super author & book - look forward to reading more!
