A book blog I started just because I love books!
Fifteen year old Dawn Miller cannot believe that perfect grades, shopping with her girlfriends and joining every extracurricular activity recommended by her parents is all there is to life. She is bored and tired and figures Harvard, her parents' goal for her, is still a few years away. How will she survive going through this torture? And skipping Yearbook every now and then is hard enough.
But when she makes a new friend Starr, who introduces her to world of skaters and punks. This is an exciting and not to mention rebellious act on Dawn's part, but breaking away from her parents is farthest from her mind when she meets intelligent and nice skater Sean McNally. She knows her boring and overprotective parents would denounce this heart throb as a punk from the wrong side of town, but then again they would shoo away any boy wanting to date her before she graduates from Harvard. How will she make her parents realize Sean is not all he seems, and not to judge a boy by his cover?
I really liked this book actually. It is really good despite its sort of cheesy plot. It was a bit girly because Dawn is a total 'Barbie' but later she becomes more carefree and less girly.
