Review
This story is about two teenagers, Stewart and Ashley, that each has only one parent. Now their parents have fallen in love with each other so they are all going to live together. Stewart (kind of a nerd) is excited but Ashley (super popular) is not. Stewart does find a way to get Ashley to at least talk to him, but the reason behind that might be bad for both of them.
The mean girl scene and Ashley in particular, is intense in this book. Ashley is not a likable character but what she does to people around her and doesn’t do, was believable, even if it was ugly to read about. Stewart also seemed a bit too perfect throughout the book. There are several issues that are dealt with in the book- bullying, homophobia and date violence are just a few. Overall this was a good book. I would give it 4 out 4 stars
Overall Book Score: good
