4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, February 2, 2002

By A Customer

Well I thought that this book was actually pretty good. Although there was way too much Conner and Alana in this book, especially too much Alana. There were several times in this book where I wanted to yell shutup at Conner, I just don't understand why he has any friends. I hope that Elizabeth never takes this jerk back, especially with the way he treated her in this book and in the others. I would've liked to have read more about Maria and Ken. I was kind of surprised with what happened to Maria, let's just say that I was expecting more to happen, I think that the author quickly wrapped up this storyline too soon. The Jessica/Trent/Tia/Jeremy storyline was kind of annoying, but it gets better near the end, I hope that the author won't go down this road again. I was also kind of hoping to read more about Meagan and Todd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Conner!, November 18, 2001

A Kid's Review

This book was OK,except that there was way too muchConner and Alanna in it. Conner seriously needs to get a grip. He can't live everyone's life for them. Alanna seriously HAS to get some seriuos help SOON! She's got a bad enough life already- stop drinking, honey. Remember all those headaches and the naeusa? I don't think you want to live that every day! Her parents are HUGE liars- Alanna is just a Straight-F girl who's got serious drinking problems. They've gotta learn to face that and GET RID OF THAT ALCOHOL! Those people just don't know (or care)what's good for Alanna. Megan can date Todd if she wants to- Conner can't control her life. Elizabeth has to get a boyfriend sooner or later, and I hope it's Conner. That boy needs to get Alanna out of his life for good!

3.0 out of 5 stars Boring!, November 13, 2001

By A Customer

This book is almost all about Conner. Which would be great, except Conner is with Alanna and not Elizabeth. Conner tries to fix everyone else's problems so he doesn't have to work on his own. This book also takes off where the last one ended with the Jeremy-Jessica-Trent-Tia fiasco. It's an apology fest, where everyone is trying to work everything out. Evan is having some problems at home, so the next book will probably be about him cause its called "Tearing Me Apart". Maybe Liz will get a clue and get with a guy who actually cares about her and wants to make her happy.
