( ) Although not my particular interest to read, the story is enjoyably written. It's the struggle a teenage girl goes through deciding between her long-time boy best-friend and the intellectual football player who's smitten with her. The story kind of speeds through the timeline to me. There's a few suggestive items of discussion but it's dealt with in a pretty mature way. This one goes in the chick lit section :) Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo.com Alice and Jewel (Julian). That's how it's always been. A seemingly invisible pair of sophomores at their high school. They've been friends for forever and are never without the other. Until the day Simon Murphy acknowledges Alice. Jewel jumps all over Alice, asking what it was about, but it wasn't anything, really. Was it? Then Alice and Jewel go to a concert and Simon comes over to Alice while Jewel is in the restroom, and stays with the two of them throughout the show. Simon went so far as to ditch his friends to be with Alice. Nothing happens, and it leaves Alice more confused than before. Alice has wanted a boyfriend for ages, but she doesn't want to lose Jewel in the process. When things with Simon actually start working out, the distance between Alice and Jewel grows. After a confession from Jewel about his true feelings for her, the chasm seems insurmountable. Alice is finally coming out of her shell and making friends beyond Jewel, but losing her best friend leaves a void inside. Alice has to struggle to figure out who she is and what she really wants. Is having a great guy like Simon as a boyfriend what it's all about? Or is having a best friend that knows every little thing about you more important? All young adults have to struggle with an identity issue as they go through their teen years. Alice realizes that she needs more than just Jewel in her life, but soon learns that a best friend is next to impossible to replace. Ms. Gallagher writes an honest book about the internal struggles of an insecure girl. We all have that same insecurity inside of us and can understand what Alice has to figure out on her own. Definitely a book that everyone can relate to from some point in their lives. It’s about a girl who is quiet and has one friend (who is a guy) and he likes her but she starts going out with a popular guy. The part where Alice was talking to Jewel and he said something about still liking her (this is after he broke up with Venessa) and Alice knew she had to break up with Simon. I was not disapointed because in the end Alice and Jewel became friends again. I loved the way the author made you always wondering what Alice was going to do next. AHS/EK It’s so simple and real, but just the combination of words the author uses is so amazing. I liked that I could connect with the main character – she was caught in the middle and what she decided would affect everything. Short, sweet, and to the point, but it wasn’t abrupt. I’m glad this wasn’t a wishy-washy story about some preppy, popular girl and her jock/jerk boyfriend who breaks up with her and then she falls for a totally different guy. It wasn’t like that at all. The characters were different and I could really get into the main character’s head. AHS/EK It is a light read, not too serious, but just deep enough to be worthwhile. The characters have a depth that makes them charmingly realistic. I had no previous expectations. AHS/JN inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
