I found this okay... nothing to write home about. I liked the characters as individuals, but somehow found their romance unblievable somehow. It wasn't the interracial... it just seemed...I'm not sure. Forced, somehow?
I seem to be the only person not taken with this book, but I felt the narrative was a bit stilted at times.
I enjoyed Brit's relationship with her sister more than hers with Alex, and Alex's more with Paco than with Brit.
eh. Not a bad 'trip' read, you could do worse. ...more

This book is so incredibly cliche. It reminded me of about 10 teen movies I have seen in my teenage years. It is incredibly formulaic: popular girl meets bad boy, he makes a bet that he can get her to sleep with him, and you know the rest.... It was entertaining, but made me want to quit reading it because I knew what would happen in the end. I did finish it though. The epilogue was quite though.
from NPR survey of great Young Adult fiction.
