What Members Thought
At first glace this book is a fairly typical YA novel. High school girl deals with feeling in and out of love, worries about what her friends and peers think, and argue with her parents. Except what makes this unique is that the entire book is told in poems. After page of two is the start of a new poem, with the title giving the basic idea of what is occurring. Some of these probably could stand on their own, but when taken together it turns into a fun little story.

This book is SO GREAT! I will NEVER understand why it's on banned lists. I have a feeling some mothers are offended by the title. It's SO INCREDIBLY TAME, especially compared to scads of other YA novels these days! There's kissing... and some references to nudity, but geesh! They wanted to ban it? Ridiculous!
Anyway, my favorite poem in the entire book is as follows:

HAIR PRAYER...more
His hand's
in my hair.
May he leave it
right there
until April
or May,
near the nape
of my neck
just below
my left
More like 3.5 stars! This was adorable. Written in the form of several poems and a quick and easy read, this one is as sweet as cotton candy!
Normally novels in verse make me want to gag but I loved this.
