Summary: Jade Ashton is a sassy virgin. In her private blog, she vents about "fitting in" a world where superficiality reigns supreme.

Suddenly all logic flies out the window when she meets Novan: the former geek, who's morphed into a delicious songwriter-musician.

They decide to be "friends-with-benefits." But it's Novan--with his poems and riddling passages on his own blog...more

Like every other 17-year-old girl, Jade has a lot of thoughts and concerns she can't share with anyone, so starting up a secret blog seems like a good way to vent. EyeLeash is all the ramblings from her head, her conversations with her friends, her concerns and hopes. And since she's hidden it, nobody can see what she says in here, especially all those naughty thoughts she's begun to have about Nolan, an old friend of hers who's suddenly starting to look really hot.

EyeLeash is all the ramblings from her head, her conversations with her friends, her concerns and hopes. And since she's hidden it, nobody can see what she says in here, especially all those naughty thoughts she's begun to have about Nolan, an old friend of hers who's suddenly starting to look really hot. She's not really looking for a relationship, but maybe if she plays things just right, she could work out a friends with benefits deal, and find out what the big deal is about sex.

Because it's written in blog form, with frequent bouts of instant messenger conversations, the writing here is very informal. A nice balance has been hit, actually, between following proper grammar rules and allowing for internet shorthands. There's nothing in here that's difficult to follow even if you've never spent time on the internet (and if you fall into this category, you're probably not reading this review), but the language feels appropriate to the age and time period of the characters. Translation: today's teens talk and write like this, although EyeLeash has better spelling and sentence structure, making it less painful to read than a novel full of lolcat-speech.

While Jade is a virgin, there's a huge emphasis on sex. Masturbation, fantasies, discussions with her more experienced friends, exchanging nude photos online, organizing a rendezvous... there is very little in EyeLeash that does not revolve around sex or Jade's sexuality. Is this realistic for a teen girl? Maybe. Do I want to spend 300 pages reading this at the expense of character development or plot? Not so much, no.

And that's ultimately where the book fails. While a book written entirely in blog form is a neat gimmick, it works much better if there's an involving story or intriguing characters to fill it. Preferrably both. Unfortunately, all I really know about Jade is that she's constantly obsessing over sex and mysteriously has enough money to make frequent and expensive shopping sprees for brand-name merchandise (while professing to be disgusted with the materialism of the girls around her). I know even less about the other characters, and there seems to be no chemistry between Jade and Nolan aside from their mutual teenage lust. The lust part would be fine if she didn't put such an emphasis on what good friends they are, how she's afraid hooking up will destroy their friendship, and how the book sets things up so the reader is clearly meant to be rooting for something more significant than just sex between the two of them. Nothing in their exchanges backs up the vaunted friendship; I've had more in depth conversations with total strangers.

As far as storyline goes, the book is meant to be largely a journey of self-discovery, but I never got the impression Jade had changed or learned anything. Perhaps part of this is because she came off as a two-dimensional character, but I spent most of the book waiting for something to happen, something that didn't involve Jade talking about experimenting alone in her bedroom or planning her first sexual escapade. It was all talk and no action, a book that tried to be frank and open but lost sight of its story in a quest to be unique.(less)

With a genre so foreign to me I was uncertain as to what to expect. Yes… people write blogs (obviously) people chat online, people even create whole new lives on sites like “Second Life” but to take these elements and ultimately form them into a story had me not only a little book-shy, but astounded at the bravery it must take to step outside of the box.

While I’m not going to spout prolifics and say this novel will inspire world peace, and change your life, I will say that it was shamefully intriguing. Instead of reading a book, it’s more like eavesdropping in on private conversations… you know you shouldn’t, you know it’s wrong, but damn it if you just can’t help yourself. There is nothing people (secretly) wish for more than knowing all the dark inner thoughts of the people around them, so (again) while this book will not change your life, it is liable to calm some of those secret “busy-body” fetishes you claim to know nothing about.

Jade a “fresh out of an all girls school” 17 year old… is confused. She’s confused about her future, she’s confused about her sexuality, and she’s confused by her childhood friend who just asked her for some nude pics. In a flurry of over-thought and endless blogging Jade tries in vain to find her way. Is she really that superficial? What is she really supposed to think when he doesn’t show up? And most importantly… where the crap does she find money for all of her “retail therapy?”

Just a couple things to be aware of if you plan on purchasing this book. # 1. There is an enormous amount of sex talk, so if the topic (in general) leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth, steer clear cause that is roughly 90% of this book. # 2. If you purchase it for your Kindle, be aware that sometimes the conversations look jumbled (but you will get used to it.) And # 3 there are tons of ttyl, omg, tt, bcos, lol’s and irl’s so if you are completely lost on text chat you will be completely lost on this book.

All in all it was an interesting read that for some reason I couldn’t put down. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but if you are willing to “try new things” this might be just the book for you, just be sure the read the full book description before making any rash decisions.

Happy reading my fellow Bloggers and remember: we are all victims of self analyzation… it’s what you do with your self criticism that counts.(less)

I'm going to be honest. When I first heard of a "blog fiction" novel, I immediatley thought it would be another IM fluffy rom-com, like TTYL by Lauren Myracle. But, once I read the description, I was intrigued.

Jade is a virgin--much to her dismay--pining over the idea of love while still holding her 'indepednent women' ideals. She makes no secret of her self-satisfactory practices (then again, it is her private blog) and the conversations she and her friends have about sex. She's worried about h...more

Being 50 something, I must say I am definitely not the target market for this book.

This is the story of a 17 year old girl dealing with her sexual identity, but for my taste, her problems with her sexual identity were far beyond what a 17 year old is experienced with.

A Review of EyeLeash/a blog novel

Jess C Scott’s novel EyeLeash/a blog novel (260 pages) chronicles the relationship between 17-year-old Jade Ashton and a young man named Novan over a period of nine months, a portentous time frame and no doubt intentional. Scott is a clever audacious writer, and though EyeLash might first appear as a typical adolescent blog, bloated with self-importance, the novel soon reveals a compelling story, complex characters and wit to spare. Its subtitle “a blog novel” is both accurate and misleading. Though it shares many characteristics of blogs (150 million of them at last count), the “blog” that Jade creates is not meant to communicate. Jade writes, “Blogging awful poetry, daily events nobody really cares about, or ceaselessly complaining/rambling on the same old things, is stupid. Now I blog too, but this is a private one. Unsearchable on Google, and password-enabled. So it’s just me. I can be as boring and mundane as I like, talk to myself if everyone online has the (Away) or (Busy) sign on, and not worry about stepping on anybody’s toes. Let’s see what I’ll record here over this year.” In effect, the blog functions as setting, familiarizing the reader not with street names or land formations, but URLs, IM formats and the abbreviated lingua franca of online chatting. If you’re looking for naturalistic description you won’t find it here.

Blog trappings aside, EyeLeash is a descendent of the epistolary novel, popularized in the 18th Century by Samuel Richardson’s novels Pamela and Clarissa, with recent examples being Beverly Cleary’s Dear Dr. Henshaw and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple. Epistolary novels contain letters (correspondence), but also journal/diary entries, snippets of written documents from other sources, dialogue, etc. Scott makes good use of all these forms (exchanging e-mails or even lines of single lines of dialogue in IM is not congruent to snail mail but comparable) to reflect Jade’s life and her problems. At the heart of the story is Jade’s relationship with Novan, a boy she has known all her life and even dated a few years back. Novan has matured physically (all sources report the dude as HOT), become a musician/artist and is avidly pursuing his career. Jade is trying to come to terms with how she feels about Novan and how he feels about her, especially about her body, a concern that provokes much self-examination, physically and psychologically. Will this budding tentative romance develop? Will they have sex? Forces are at work to disrupt the relationship. All of Jade’s friends are sexual sophisticates. Everyone knows how to “Fuck Like a Porn Star.” Sexual opportunity, whether straight, gay, bi or through virtual reality is readily available (sex falls like the gentle rain from heaven sent). Miraculously, Jade is a virgin (an echo of American Beauty), which within her set seems at best quaint and at worst decadent, an affront to the zeitgeist. Should she have sex with her girlfriends (she tiptoes around this one, and outsiders assume she already has.)? If she had anal sex would that still qualify her as a virgin (a nice point, technically yes, but morally...)? If she has sex with a well-hung dude will it stretch out her vagina out and make her incompatible with other men of more modest endowment? Jade’s adventures in masturbation, which take up much space, would make for an X version of Home Alone. If Eyeleash is starting to sound like Terry Southern’s novel Candy, it isn’t. Scott manages to make all of this less prurient than a prudent send-up of the top ten staples of women’s magazines. Jade is supremely aware of the superficiality of her concerns. This is what separates Jade from her breathless friends and provides the humor. One example: In a discussion with a friend about an engaging sexual position, Jade is lead to believe that her friend had actually read the Kama Sutra, and duly impressed at her friend’s ambitious reading, but her friend, SeXy nAuGhTy BiTcHy Me, has gleaned the info from an article in a recent 100 % Woman magazine.

Jade’s numerous conversations with Novan, which include plans to exchange nude photographs and discussions about BD/DS/SM (if you’re drawing a blank, read the book) are an effort to humanize our contemporary obsession with perfect bodies and perfect sex, a dehumanization ably abetted by the Web. As Jade moves toward her decision regarding Novan (can she no longer trust the boy that she traded coded messages with in grade school?), Scott captures with admirable authenticity the struggle of a young adult to shed the ephemeral for the permanency of an authentic relationship. Although the raw language is a problem, Eyeleash is a love story that will appeal to intelligent young adults and others that were.—Alex Austin

This novel is written in an alternative format (as a personal online journal), and it’s risqué for a YA novel (because of all the talk about sex). Surprisingly, the format did not distract me, and the story kept my attention. It became clear to me early on that not only did Novan have an emotional attachment to Jade, but Jade also was whipping herself up into an emotional attachment to Novan, even though they both said there was nothing between them.

Jade Ashton is 17 years old, and she's a virgin. It's hard being the only virgin amongst her group of friends, because they are all sexually active and pretty much flaunt it by talking about their own escapades. Jade wants nothing more than to lose her virginity, but she's afraid of a few things. STD's and pregnancy are big issues for Jade, as they should be.

Despite the fact that blogging is so 'not cool' these days, Jade decides to create her own personal blog. When I say personal, I mean, personal, as in, no one else can even read it but herself. She uses it as her own personal diary to convey her thoughts, feelings, and other tidbits that she comes across while surfing the net and reading magazines. It's not long before she starts talking to an old friend, Novan, who used to be such a geek.

Novan has really filled out, and now he's a hot rocker, how cool is that! Jade has a hard time keeping her hormones in check when she's either talking to, or blogging about him. He becomes Jades ticket out of being a virgin, if only he'll agree to being 'friends-with-benefits'. Will it work out?

EyeLeash is most definitely a great read. I was a little skeptical when I saw it, because it's all written out in blog entries, text messages, and instant messages. I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed this novel. I felt like I knew Jade, and was extremely interested in seeing how things turned out for her. She's laugh out loud hilarious, as well as shy, which is kind of an odd combination. Jade would be one of those people that you would have to get to know before they'd really open up and show you who they really were.

I loved how Jade was able to speak her mind in her blog, telling us exactly how certain situations made her feel. Sometimes she got so angry that it was like she just typed out random thoughts that confused me, but they were meant to be that way, because who is completely logical when they're ready to tear someones head off? I for one am not.

There were a few things about Jade that I really disliked though. She is a shallow character, pretty much only out for looks when it comes to the opposite sex. She also had a spending problem. The prices of the things that she would purchase were completely ridiculous, which I found confusing because she didn't have a very good job. I guess this was the author's way of telling us that it's when your young that you'll be silly and screw up your credit by maxing out your credit cards.

All in all I really enjoyed this novel, and was actually able to read it within a two day span. If I didn't have to work a full time job in between my reading, I probably could have read it in one sitting. I laughed out loud through most of this book, and at other times I clenched my teeth because I was either angry at Jade herself or one of the other characters. I would recommend this read to young adults at least 17 and older, because there is a lot of sexual talk, and some crude words. I'd like to thank the author, Jess C. Scott for allowing me to review this book, it truly was a pleasure!

So this novel is about Jade Ashton and her relationship with a guy named Nolan. They both blog, but for various reasons. Ashton blogs to kind of like vent, she’s like a writer and doesn’t want to step on anyone’s toes or anything so she has a blog that’s “unsearchable and password protected”. Think of it more like a diary, I like that idea because back when I was 14 or so, I didn’t know about blogs so I did it the old fashioned way. Nolan writes poetry and songs; he’s such a complex character and that’s one of the things I really enjoyed. The format of the novel was just abs amazing. It’s literately just like someone’s personal blog, things are misspelled, there’s a lot of url usage, nicknames, abbreviated language one might use to text.

The characters were well developed and had their own personalities. Jade expresses herself within her blog, you can tell exactly how she feels, what she cares about, among other things. Nolan is expressed through Jade’s blog snippets. He talks about pursing his career in music and about this girl who he likes but isn’t sure how to tell her how he feels. It’s actually quite cute; his blogs were one of my favorite parts of this novel. Jade has two other friends that are known more for their IM names, and they’re quite unique. For example, one of them was, “SeXy nAuGhTy BiTcHy Me”, which I thought was quite interesting. Jade struggles with her sexuality throughout the entire novel. Her friends have pretty much all have sex and then when she see’s Nolan, he’s an entirely different person (physically) than the last time she had seen him, so she lust for him throughout the novel. So she and her friends try to get her ready for that precise moment with quirky little facts and myths. The language is just as if it were a teenager talking, I abs loved that.

There were a couple of things that I did have a problem with. Jade is so shallow. She pretty much talks about how hot a guy is and how much she lust for him in almost every blog entry. At some points it got tiring but I guess in this society now a days, teens struggle with that. I did really like how she showed the struggle of being a “perfect teen” through Jade, with the obsession of how her body looked in naked pictures and how much she worried about getting pregnant. Overall it’s a very good, talented and excellent read. I give it 4 out of 5 paws.

Scott which tells the story of a seventeen year old girl named Jade Ashton whose curiosity about her sexuality prompts her to write a private blog to document a most peculiar time in her life. Eyeleash is a very unique and avant-garde novel unlike anything I’ve read before. The story is written mostly in the form of a blog breaking form only to include passages that are either written in verse or some form of stylized text. The story itself is interesting, though a bit redundant.

Although Eyeleash is an easy read, there were several moments when I felt as though I were rereading the same passages over and over again. This stems from the fact that Jade’s rekindled infatuation with her schoolyard crush Novan causes her to indulge in a lot of back and forth with herself, tirelessly trapping her in a state of indecision which is captured by the author perhaps too effectively.

My only real complaint with this novel is that it’s a bit one-dimensional. Although the chick-lit crowd might not be bothered by it, I felt the sexual overtones of the book were presented as overkill. To be honest, I felt it was sometimes oppressive. As I read Eyeleash I couldn’t help but wish that there was more to the story than just the constant obsession with sex, sex, and more sex. Overall, the book came off like the racy editorial content of a typical woman’s magazine.

With that said, it was intriguing to know Jade’s intimate thoughts and the manner in which she perceived the events in her life. I just wish there was more to the story than her obsession with Novan to give it more substance.

Ultimately, I enjoyed reading Eyeleash and can honestly say that Scott is a very creative and extremely talented author. As with her second novel, 4:Play: A Contemporary Cocktail of Erotic Short Stories, I was entranced by Scott’s ability to transport the reader into her story. Because her sophomore novel is the superior work, I would recommend that readers check out Eyeleash first before moving on to her latest book. I look forward to seeing what Scott comes up with next.

I enjoyed EyeLeash very much. I thought the characters were realistic in dealing with the things they were going through. It's a quick read, I blasted through it in an evening because I just had to know how everything between Jade and Novan turned out. The blog/IM format was easy to follow for the most part and added some humor to the novel.

This blog novel was interesting. In it, Jade writes about her life through her blog. It includes her teenage struggles, and frustration about being a virgin. She chats with Novan via IM, and they try and get together, but fail. It was a little strange at times, and sometimes a bit hard to get through for me, so it took a while to finish. I don't know what I was expecting with this book, but this certainly wasn't it.
