This book was so cool!!!! i love it when peoples' lives intertwine in books! I think Lynne Rae Perkins did a wonderful job not only writing this book, but explaining teenage life! One of the best books I've ever read!
Criss Cross is a beautifully written story of a group of small town teens that learn about life and love one summer. There is no plot, but that is just part of what makes it so special. It is a very deep book, and it is better to read it once you are older than thirteen to fully appreciate it. It is a very accurate portrayal of real life in that nothing happens. But it is a book that you will find yourself reaching for over and over again. There is one instance with the s- word, one with the a- word, and one with the h- word, but they are very brief. There is another iffy spot where one of the characters chews tobacco at fourteen years old. Again, this part is brief. All in all, Criss Cross is an amazing book that will make you see the beauty in everyday things. It is a must read!
I love this book it is amazing how the power of love can trick you or amaze you i love this book because it is relateable to. I think this is what most teens think about love.
It's an amazing adventure for all teens who seek love!!!

This was the worst book I have ever read it had no plot no action and was just bad!!! I had to read it for a school project all I wanted to do was get to the last page! My advice don't waste ur time you'll never get it back.
This book is great! Criss Cross is by Lynne Rae Perkins, and it is VERY descriptive. When ever their is a descriptive paragraph their is always a little image to describe it. I thought it was great and I think everyone should read it too!
I loved this book! I read a lot of books, but only really like a few of them. I'm 13 now, but I did read this when I was 7 or 8 and didn't like it or understand it. But I picked it up yesterday and well - here I am!!! I totally recommend this book!
