Nominated by KT Stevenson
One Sentence Review-
Dawson’s Creek in novel form; possibly my final attempt at liking Young Adult.
Extended Review-
I tried, I honestly, truly hand on heart tried to like this book but I really didn’t. The characters are unbelievable, (not in a good way), the plot reads like a latter day Douglas Coupland novel, (not a compliment), and the dialogue is so adjective-laden and verbose that I actually started wishing the two protagonists might give up on their Dawson’s Creek, irony-babble, and revert to text speak. The best I can say is that I didn’t mind the parent characters and found them a little easier to stomach but, at the end of the day, I shouldn’t have been expecting much when Jodi Picoult wrote the cover endorsement. Sorry KT, back to the grown up books now.

KT Stevenson is an English teacher based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She enjoys a grand obsession with the Olympic Games and is fast-filling our house with London 2012 memorabilia. She is the most all round gifted person I know and is currently fluent in cricket, medievalness, drama and violin with plans to conquer baseball before the year is out. She is a founding member of the South Belfast Holby City and Casualty Fan Club. I like KT very much but am not necessarily as enamoured with her reading choices.
