Erica is a typical teen girl. She sticks up for her boyfriend, even when she starts to doubt him. She lies to her parents about their relationship, but it all comes out in the end, as all secrets do. Since I teach eighth grade, I felt the need to share this book with my students. I always tell them to not get hooked on one person,to look around, and not become too serious. This book shows exactly what could happen to anyone.

I have read almost all of the True to Life series books and I have enjoyed every one. It tells the stories of a young girls choice to stick up for her boyfriend and lie to her parents. This book also tells the effects rape has on it's victums. This, as well as all True to Life Series Books, is a sure read for teenagers growing up in the changing world around them.

Erica is a normal teenager, ok she graduated high school? she works at a community college, she worrys about boys. you know, normal teenage things. the thing that i dont understand, is how she is like a maid to her boyfriend,danny. she's there at his every beck and call. and if i was her i wouldnt be doing that? i would feel bad for him though only because he lost his mom. and you know, no one deserves to lose thier mom. but anyway, erica got raped by her boyfriend best friend, and danny was drunk when this happened,and at the scene at the crime, ok if im not wrong, arent you supposed to protect your girl/boy in any situation like that? yea you should. ok and second of all, all danny wants from erica is sex...basically, i woulda dump long time ago. im glad erica was real smart, and broke up wit danny at the end.
