Turning Seventeen #7: Secrets and Lies (Turning Seventeen)

Rating:
Summary: Turning Seventeen continues to explore real teen issues
Review: Even though Maya has always had a good relationship with her father, it still feels like she can't really talk to him. When he says that she can stay home alone with her friends she is thrilled - but then he says she has to stay at Marleen's house. It could be worse right? Then Maya tries out for the track team and misses her usual spot - what is happening? When one of the other girls offers her some vitamins she isn't sure that they will help, but there is more to the vitamins than meets the eye, and someone may hurt her before she has a chance to find out the truth. Another eye opening book in this true to life series, I wish that this book had been around when I was seventeen.

Summary: A Good Turning Seventeen Book
Review: I was hoping for a better Maya book. THe first book about her was way more interesting. This one just showed how she deals with Amandas bulimia, and how she tries to be good at track again. It didn't really show her relationship with her friends and boyfriend, which is mainly what these books are about. But it was a pretty good book, and I'm happy that I ordered it!
