best book I've ever read :)
this book is GREAT, i read it when i was 13 and LOVED it. It is informational as well as witty. Dominique is a character that so many teenage girls can relate to. The relationship between Wes and Dominique is one that really can be described as first love; even though it ends in heartache, it shows how teenagers can often mistake love and how to get over it. I'm a big reader and i love reading books like these; I've read Judy Blume's Forever and was not as taken by it as i was with this one. I've read this book front to back about ten times in the last five years and i still laugh and cry at the appropriate parts. Teenage girls should read this book, there are so many important life lessons that you can't get anywhere else. It should be turned into a movie :)))))))))

what is with the author
i read this book not all i had to stop i think this book is not right for the ages 15 and under and the book should not be sold in public schools and it has no positive meassage to it.. and has very bad content to it that i think should be bad for all ages to read.. but i think that the author has a very bright mind and a good heart for storys but the author should right a book that is age approprite for all ages..

good deterrent to premarital sex
I read a review copy of this book several months ago and was very impressed with the quality of the writing. It gives, in almost cringe-worthy detail, a very realistic insight into first love. If anything, this book will deter young adults from engaging in sexual activity too early because it shows all of the devastating emotional, and some physical, consequences of premarital sex. Most books that show young adults having sex sensationalize the subject, and this does just the opposite. Moreover, it's a fast-paced, entertaining story that all teen girls would enjoy. I highly recommend this fabulous book for high schoolers.

Good book
This book could be a sex manual. It's very erotic and I don't think kids under 14 should be reading this. Other than that, this was a great read.

Responsible Teens Only!
I thought personally it was a really good book! My daughters loves it too,but they are also in high school. I would recommended it to teenage girls who have sexual knowledge. Yet, respect them selfs and their bodies enough to know that just because a girl in a FICTIONAL BOOK has sexual relations with a guy she thinks she loves and ends up with another guy at the end of a book.

for college freshies looking to get over the highschool "loverboy"
Being a current college freshman, i was able to relate to this book. I feel as though if you've never been in a relationship, or ever had a "first love" this book probobly isnt for you. Throughout the whole book i laughed, but mostly cried. It reminded me of my life completely. My first boyfriend, my first love, my first "time", my first sexual experiance, transitioning from HS to college, and everything inbetween. It's a good book that you can sit down, and knock out in a couple of hours, because you will be hooked. I wish there were more REAL books out there like this one, that young people, especially girls, can relate to. It was so refreshing to read. I felt as if i was reading a memoire of my senior year of high school, and my freshman year of college. The book is definatly an A+ and have already recommended it to many of my friends. Def don't pass it up if you're looking for a smart, witty, and cute read.

Stop sheltering children.
I think that your children will do fine with this book. If they are 13 or under they may have questions, but you as a parent should be willing to answer them in a way that doesn't make them uncomfortable. I promise that over half of American children ages 12-13 already know about the content in this book (sex, kissing, ect.) If they don't they will soon, so why not put a positive influence in their minds so they'll do the right thing. Sex is natural and normal and they need to know that. Also, if your child can't handle it then you aren't doing a very good job with them, now are you?
