This book was available through Overdrive's read program so I thought I would give it a try. I don't read a lot of young adult stuff and this reminds me of why. Anika is a teen who is going through all the things most teens do, doubting herself, mean girls, bad boys, crappy job, school stress, etc. etc. She hooks up with a loner guy who has matured a bit, but is not willing to go public with their relationship. Her best friend/enemy is Becky, a controlling conniver who has fun by humiliating her peers. But then the hot guy Jared seems to be falling for Anika. Becky has her sights on him and so there is some explaining to do. Also included are parent and sibling conflict, a new friend in trouble and a breakout moment that will define Anika in the future. All predictable teen stuff that doesn't really ring true in the telling.
