On one hand I want them to be realistic and for the teens to ring true. But on the other hand, like you said, realistic means realistic small dramas. Fights with friends, little things that don't necessarily make for a great story even if they do resonate well.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-12029111791688486652012-01-16T23:27:57.307-05:002012-01-16T23:27:57.307-05:00"...

I liked that rather than trying to control their daughter, they allowed her the freedom to make her own choices and mistakes."<br /><br />I love my parents but they can be a bit too overprotective. I understand their worries for me but sometimes you just have to let people make their mistakes and truly grow up. I really liked CJ, which you know so I'm really excited to read this one. I got a copy from the author. Just trying to find a time to do read it. :)Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-43707021645965983902012-01-16T22:16:01.381-05:002012-01-16T22:16:01.381-05:00Hmmm interesting.

That would bug me, too!Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08575179545134751295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-9969422940963664042012-01-16T16:31:05.099-05:002012-01-16T16:31:05.099-05:00You're so right, Z!

I'm in high school right now and things that are important to me right now probably don't mean much to others, but I hold on to them anyway. :) And I actually think it's hard to write a realistic teenager nowadays! People don't want to make them too immature or too mature, and it often makes them a weird mix of both LOL! <br /><br />Awesome review, Z! I still need to read Catching Jordan, but I've heard cool things about that too and now I want to read both of these LOL! :)Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-8952799319395289752012-01-16T16:05:42.522-05:002012-01-16T16:05:42.522-05:00Surprisingly I haven't heard of this book eith...Surprisingly I haven't heard of this book either but like Giselle is it has to do with Catching Jordan sign me up!!!

I like reading about the small things and moments I can relate too, so I'm looking forward to reading this one! I like how you said Daisy was at typical teen - sometimes making smart decision and sometimes showing her youth, I can always get behind characters like that. Fantastic review Zahida:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-41821034544149346492012-01-16T12:56:08.202-05:002012-01-16T12:56:08.202-05:00Yay!

Z, I...Yay! I can comment. I was dying here! LOL<br /><br />Z, I'm always a book or two behind you. I started FoF earlier this month, but put it down for some reason. I found Daisy to be very abrupt and it was hard to get an handle on her. Like you said, I also felt like strangling her, and I'm still at the beginning. LOL<br /><br />I plan to return to the book soon. I like knowing that it's similar to Catching Jordan, another I want to read. :)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.com
