Sevens #2
Exposed
Jeremy's life was perfect. He was the running back of the football team. He had been dating Tara, the most beautiful girl in school, for two years. Then he met Josh.
Sevens is the story of seven weeks in the lives of seven teenagers in Saratoga Springs, New York. As the first book opens, the seven main characters stand on the edge. They are facing things that force them to confront their pasts and their very uncertain futures. At first their struggles seem unrelated, but soon the connections between the characters begin to emerge.
Over the course of these seven books, readers will be brought into the lives of these teens. They will share their struggles, feel their pain, and celebrate their successes-all the while gaining glimpses of the single unifying event that irrevocably links these seven lives. It was an event that affected them all differently, but changed each of them forever.
Hard hitting, gritty, and moving, Sevens will keep readers hooked-from the first book to the last.the first book to the last.

Jeremy thinks about what happened when he kissed a guy, and Meena returns home, only to find that the real cause of the fire has been found. Karyn has pressure put on her by other girls since she's still a virgin. Danny is having problems with the medicine he's been taking. Peter gets made fun of at school by a kid who is stoned, and Jane is having problems of her own.
Meena's mother says Meena is going to see a psychiatrist. Jeremy is still denying that he's gay. Karyn and her mother have a major argument. Jeremy finds out that information about his kissing the guy is now up on the unofficial school Internet gossip page.
A good second book in the series. Keeping seven characters interesting at one time, (not counting the supporting characters), is a difficult job, but the author, so far, is managing to do that job quite well.

This book was a bit better than the first, plus this one only took me a little over my lunch break to read. I'm still having a little trouble remembering who is who, but not as much as I was having with the first book. I believe that being able to read this in one sitting really helped with this.
This book focuses Jeremy, but still continues stories of other characters we met in book one. I think I also enjoyed it more due to the different character focus as Meena's problems and how she was dealing with them were emotionally draining for me personally. I was a little surprised that the end of this book ended in a similar fashion as book one, and it makes me wonder if this will be how all the books end.
Curious to see who I become more acquainted with in the next book.

This second book adds the perspective of Karen to the mix. We've now heard from Peter, Meena, Jeremy, Peter, and Karen. While this does feel a bit like a transitional novel, I wouldn't say it suffers from Second-Book Syndrome. Instead, we get to see how the big events in book one affect the lives of the characters.
Please note that this book does contain a lot of homophobic slurs, but they are not condoned by the characters. I do think you can feel the 2002 setting a bit more due to the way the characters speak in this book, and by the other references to music and TV shows.
