Dana Davidson, takes the quintessential teenage love story by storm and flips the script in a believable manner. How many of us know, remember or were the "not-quite-ugly" but "not-guaranteed-to-make-a-guy's-tongue-hang-out" girl in High School?

Dana tells the tale of initiation and unexpected love without over-the-top drama and leaves us not only with likeable main and secondary characters, but with a few messages.

• • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

  • Be true to yourself

  • Even the popular people have issues.

• Accountability for actions

A great read for this forty-year-old "teen" and more importantly an awesome read for an actual teenager.

This title would make a great group discussion book to segue into teenage girls' selfworth, self image, first times etc. and excellent for teenage boys' playa, playa types to teach accountability and the possible outcome of giving into peer pressure.
