'I lost my virginity to a twenty-five year-old man. And on a schoolnight, too.' Sex with an older man, parents who don't understand, politics in the playground, blowjobs behind the bike-sheds, skinning up in the schoolyard. It's what happens when you reach a certain age. Just the hormones kicking in. We've all been there...haven't we? "A Certain Age" is a reality behind the problem pages. It's what a just 17 never told you about growing up.

I know the book as "Pure",
By
This review is from: Certain Age (Paperback)
I just got finished reading this book for the second time. I love the rawness of it. It tells about being a teenager like I remember it. From not liking your parents to your parents not liking the guy you're dating to your feelings changing about the friends you hang out with. Because it takes place in England the language is different and takes a minute to figure out what the author means (i.e. snogging=making out). It's basically about a girl who is overweight and struggles to fit in. The only way she knows how to be accepted is to let guys have their way with her. Then she meets an older guy and starts dating him. He's abusive but it doesn't bother her. I really wanted to scream at the main character for being so stupid and staying with the guy but it's true for a lot of young relationships. You will stay with anyone just to feel important and just to fit in. It was realistic and a good read.

What happened to the original title?,
By pink_puff (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Certain Age (Paperback)
I was looking for more books like this one, but was perplexed to find that the title had been changed. "A Certain Age," as it sits on my book shelf is titled "Pure." Huh?? Anyway, this was a great, although somewhat depressing read. I could not put it down.

Save your money and go to My Space,
This review is from: Certain Age (Paperback)
I can't believe this book achieved publication. The writing is aweful, the storyline is not there and you could read something like this book for free if you just go to my space or livejournal and read some blog entries. The only thing that gives me comfort isthat I only paid 4 bucks for this instead of 10.
This book is dissapointing, boring and a waste of time and money.
