Description As Books Good Girls
Audrey Porter is a "good girl": a good student, a great daughter, an amazing friend. She's also the last person anyone expects to be hanging out with Luke DeSalvio, the hottest guy at Audrey's school. But Luke is a liar, a player, a dream, and Audrey knows it. She dumps him at her friend's Halloween party with no intention of looking back, but not before giving him one last goodbye gift...The next Monday, messages begin popping up on people's phones and email inboxes. Somebody has taken a picture of her and Luke together and soon everyone knows, including her teachers, her mum and her dad… Now she must discover strength she never knew he had, find friends where she didn't think she would, and learn that life goes on – no matter how different it is to how you think it's going to be.

Also appears on Lissa WritesI really liked this book.There are a few parallels with Forever, and in fact this book even references Forever, but unlike Forever I wasn't reminded of the awkwardness and quite frankly horrible memories of my ex-boyfriend, but instead I was actually reminded of my fiancée.So, win for this book already.When someone takes a photo of Audrey, the school's resident 'good girl' - otherwise known as a spock, swot, or general nerd - in a compromising position with a boy at aMay also be found at Living Is Reading This is a really difficult book to review. I mean, I liked a lot of aspects about it, and there is no denying that the book has a very relevant and important theme, and I'm in no way denying that. My issue with this book is solely my opinion, and none of my friends who have read this book have had this issue (at least not to the extent that I have), so it could be just my own interpretation. In fact, I just kind of want to get it out of the way, since I
an interview in the back of this book suggests this book be required reading for all teenagers, their parents, and teachers. That will make lots of readers squirm. Ruby is a unflinchingly honest about teen sexuality as any YA author I've read. She examines the double standard we all know exists between girlsand boys getting caught in compromising situations. She puts it all out there and makes her characters -- and us -- wrestle with it.Audrey and Luke 'hook up' at parties all fall, until
Well here's the deal with this book...lots of smutty detail which wasn't so pleasant. However, I found it to be pretty honest and to straightforward in regard to the pressures that teenagers feel. There was a lot of honest discussion between the teens about sex and the drama that results from having sex at a young age. I probably won't recommend this book around. I think that, while it addresses the negative aspects of teenage sex, it also glamorizes it at the same time. This is something that
When I first was sent this book, I had doubts that it'd be clique and very predictable, but it turned out great. Its not what i expected it to be.When good girl, star achiever Audrey Porter is caught in a "promiscuous" position, her life turns upside down. It's not just the fact she was caught, its the fact someone took a picture of her and sent it around. She's now gone from good-girl-who-does-everything-right to a ho living in "Slut City" with two other characters, Pam and Cindy. Pam is the
Spoiler filledOkay so i just finished the book just then so my thoughts are all over the place but i'll try to write them down.1. Luke-I thought he was going to be a jerk but i was soooo wrong, he explained himself towards the end of the book and i was really glad him and Audrey ended up together. I adore the two of them even if i skipped over the sex scenes.2. Ash, Pam, Cindy and Joelle-When Ash and Audrey fought, i thought the author was going to pit the two of them against each other but. .
This extremely topical story addresses issues of sex, bullying, invasion of privacy, and the Internet. Ruby deals frankly with Audreys burgeoning sexuality and her approach is refreshing in a world full of gratuitous sex. The story begins with a photograph of the Audrey with her boyfriend thats taken in secret, subsequently sent all over school, hosted on the Internet and even sent via e-mail to her father. This book is not really about the sex act but much more about the fall out and the way
