This isn't a bad read, but it's not that great either. It does illustrate what happens when a young person starts to notice other people in a romantic light, and how that affects your thinking, focus, and priorities.
Dixie, the heroine, usually takes no prisoners when practicing Korean martial arts at her do-jong. She's usually as uncompromising in her attitude and style, too. [Reminds me of myself in my streetfighting days.:] Then, along comes a boy. The story deals with her coping with the sudden turmoil of emotions and conflicting pulls on her time and loyalty.
Unfortunately, the boy she falls for is the least interesting person in the book. So, I don't know why she goes loopy for him. Especially, when the story makes Dixie sacrifice so much for him. [SPOILER ALERT!:] She does end up with the guy that makes sense with her attitude and personality. But, then I ask: why does she need to end with a guy? Obviously, I'm far, far, far away from the tween years.
