3.0

Danni and her mom move to a small logging town in Oregon, where they move in with her mom's alcoholic boyfriend and Danni begins to crush on her soon-to-be stepbrother. She gets wrapped up in his hardcore environmentalism, which begins to branch into levels of ecoterrorism.

This book didn't quite come together for me. There was an intro scene that set up its own conflict as a result of the central story, but the into scene was never resolved. I didn't really care much about Danni or any of the characters and I didn't get why she fell for her would-be stepbrother, except that he was really cute. So, this was okay, but not great.

This book probably doesn't deserve two stars. It's pretty stupid and reads a bit like Go Ask Alice or Jay's Journal in that it seems ridiculous and fake. The main difference is that those books are a lot more entertaining and I don't think Burnout is trying to teach a moral lesson other than "shit's crazy."

You know how Minx books have previews of up and coming books at the end? Well the one about the big breasted teenager who gets her leg bit off by a shark looks terrible. What's the deal Minx? The early books showed so much promise.
