My Review:
I really felt the writer did a great job on the characters, I could totally relate to them, or at least understand them, they each had normally issues, trying to do well in school and boys, yes boys, wow that is probably the biggest issue and the writer did so well with this, brought me right back to high school, and I can tell you that I wouldn’t want to go back.
So it seems rumors are started and Livi is in the middle, not knowing what is going on and gets voted out of Populatti, wow she is so upset about this, who wouldn’t be? It is your life, your friends, wow, really? Why me? So typical of a 16 year old. Her whole life revolved around her friends so this was a disaster. I really felt bad for her, I felt the writer again did an awesome job with setting the stage and was so real like.
I felt this story was really worthy, it brought up social issues that I would have never thought of, it dealt with peer pressure and being a teenager who wanted to succeed in school and their social life. This story had shown some ways to deal with it. I also liked that it was a clean book, no swear words, no sex, yes maybe a little peer pressure to do more than kissing, but I am really glad this book didn’t go there. It is nice to read a clean book with an adventurous storyline.
I recommend this book, it is a great story, easy to read, and I didn’t want to put it down.
