Wow, this book is very poorly written. And where was the editor? She couldn't even decide what the age difference was between Paige and Parker, once even contradicting herself in the space of two pages! I was consistently rewriting passages in my head as I read - either to make things better or simply make it make sense.
Now the whole build up in this book is the sex. And then she doesn't show it at all. Which I guess would be okay if she then had Parker talk about it a bit. In the vein of "it hurt" or "it was uncomfortable" or "it felt good" but you don't even get that level of discussion. Why write an entire book about sex and then ignore the sex when it happens?
One thing this book made me think about is today's teen culture of cell phone cameras, blogs, and social networking sites. Sure people spread rumors when I was a teen, but now they can reach dozens of people instantly and with pictures! Middle school and high school must now be an extra-special hell.
Poorly written YA book. Don't bother.
