Before this all happened, the closest I'd ever come to getting physical with a guy was playing the board game Operation. Okay, so maybe that sounds pathetic, but it's not like there were any guys at my high school who I cared to share more than three words with, let alone my body.
Then I met Wes, a track star senior from across town. Maybe it was his soulful blue eyes, or maybe my hormones just started raging. Either way, I was hooked. And after a while, he was too. I couldn't believe how intense my feelings became, or the fact that I was seeing—and touching—parts of the body I'd only read about in my Gray's Anatomy textbook. You could say Wes and I experienced a lot of firsts together that spring. It was scary. It was fun. It was love.
And then came the fall.

My Review 

The reviews for this book are split down the middle. People either hated it or loved it. This is what intrigued me to pick this interesting looking book up. 

Let me settle this matter quickly: There is sex in this book. For one: look at the cover. Two: Read the SYNOPSIS! This is not the perfect read for everyone. If you don't think this is appropriate, or whatever reason, fine. As I said before this is not for everyone. I wouldn't tell my 8th grade cousin or sister to read it.  But I do believe that for high school students this could hold a valuable lesson.

With that matter aside this was a great book! I was laughing, cry, and blushing to myself. This book had my emotions all over the place. Dominique was an easy character to love. She was funny, light, and smart (Well, school wise. Not life wise.). Dom was a great character as was Wes. 

I knew what was going to happen all along, but I was still really sad when it finally did happen. I can't tell you just what happened, because that would be a major spoiler! 

I loved the plot! The only thing I had issues with was how had the characters fallen so deeply in love? Why was Dom so crazy for Wes? This was my only problem with the book. I just felt like it was to fast and fleeting. 

I think the cover works perfectly with the book! It's like an Operation game board, but with only new pieces. Many are turned off by the cover. I know all of my friends are like 'Wow thats so stupid.' or 'Why is their a barbie doll?' If they actually read the book, they would see the way it ties in with the story. 

I loved the ending! Daria leaves you hanging, but you can guess what's going to happen.

Overall this was a very interesting read. I learned things, I laughed, and now I feel more prepared for high school. And all with a book! YA saves. ;)
