Her senior year should be the best one yet. But a horrible experience at a summer party has changed everything. Now she&#8217;s vowing to make better choices, including going back to church.

Though I&#8217;m still not sold on contemporary, I found this book enjoyable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The Plot:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">One thing I&#8217;ve noticed about contemporaries is that it&#8217;s more about characters than plot. The plot doesn&#8217;t actually heat up significantly until later in the book. It was mostly a lot of relationship drama whether it be boyfriend girlfriend or with family or friends it seemed. I liked the book later on, more than I did at first.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The Characters: <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I had a lot of trouble relating to Skylar at first. I&#8217;ve never been popular. I&#8217;ve never smoked. I&#8217;m not that materialistic. I&#8217;ve always been the goody two-shoes like Ellie, so I had trouble finding something to latch onto her until later on during the parents fighting sequences. That I have experience with. I liked her unusual ethnicity. I hadn&#8217;t read a book with a Hawaiian character before let alone main character.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Skylar&#8217;s friends are all shallow jerks. I personally would have ditched them way earlier. I like Skylar&#8217;s parents. Though I don&#8217;t think her mom is a favorable person because she&#8217;s a coward, I thought she was realistic. Skylar&#8217;s dad grew on me as the book progressed. Abbie was an all right character. I felt bad for her, knowing some pregnant teens myself and actually being the result of a pregnant teen, I know she was going through a tough experience. I&#8217;m glad she showed some bravery instead of taking the easy way out.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Eli and Connor the two love interests were interesting characters.
