I just remembered I’d read this book at the ripe age of 12. What was I thinking? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such low reviews on a novel on goodreads.

I thought this was a really good book, but it was very visual. I mean I like how in the end, the ended up not going to the party, shows how smart these kids were. ( Except for Hunter)

Terrible writing, excusable because of the fascinating subject! Great ending, hehehe. Worth the read.

Though potentially seen as smutty and shocking, I think this book brings up a lot of the motivations behind teen sexuality in a valid storyline.

As literature it was nothing to brag about. It's considered a Teen book, but definitely an older teen book. I like the way that the kids learned their lesson in the end. And yes, it is what you think it is about.

I had really high hopes for this book. When I read what it was about I was excited because there aren't many books about there surrounding this topic and teens. It is a strong, controversial topic and I really wanted the author to get into it and deal with the real issues surrounding this types of sex parties. Starting the book I was pleasantly surprised how well it was being handled, but that is where it stopped. The book ended up being one big predictable cop-out. The issue was never really dealt with and that disappointed me. I knew about 50 pages in how it was going to turn out. I wanted more discussion, more of the teens thoughts and more depth. Instead it was just lacking.

I guess I expected a little more of a shock factor, but then anything after "Bride Stripped Bare" isn't likely to shock.
