  <default_description>Over the course of a single day, the lives of ten teenagers will intersect in powerful and unexpected ways.

Among them are Nicole, whose decision to betray her best friend will shock everyone, most of all herself; Kelly, who meets the convicted felon she&#8217;s been writing to for years; and Maria, whose definition of a true friend is someone who will cut her. Derik discovers his usual good looks and charm won&#8217;t help him get the girl he really wants, while Joy, a fifteen year old waitress, hoping for true intimacy, narrowly escapes a very dark fate.

Seamlessly woven together, this collection of interconnected short stories paints an authentic portrait of today&#8217;s teen experience that is at once funny, moving, and often very haunting.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It was an okay book, a nice examples of different perspectives, since the chapters continued to switch views as you read though. It just goes to show that there are many different kinds of people, and some with the oddest of personalities. This book was defiantly an odd one for me, but in the end I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76638503">more...</a>]]></body>

I kept reading on because I thought it would get better but I gave up on page 77 and ended up throwing the book in disgust.

Their stories intersect one another’s ever so slightly, and yet each one can stand alone.
