FIRST IMPRESSION:Probably something really girly and cheesy. I was recommended this by one of my friends, so, ugh. I had to read it, seeing as it was general fiction. The cover was okay.WRITING STYLE:It was simplistic. I remember that. It was quite insightful into Holly's life.

Interesting. Has a really good twist in it.
Holly is just so naive. I can actually guess the ending. But it was a fun and light book to read. Perfect for a lazy weekend :)
I really enjoyed this. It's not the best written piece of YA fiction I've ever read, but Burke seems to capture the essence of the age group very well. And, admittedly, it's totally my kind of YA crack ;)I'd definitely pick up Burke's other works if I stumbled across them in the local library.
