Good read! a facing your fears and choosing your battles kinda storyline plus it also dealt with other emotional deep stuff where one of the leading character falls for her best friend while the other could not handle all the ups & downs of whether their new found relationship will work out. This book was packed with everything from good writing to good storytelling,likable and lovable characters with great chemistry,and an ending of fluffy tear jerky reaction for everyone..recommendp.s.-can4 stars at the start. The story would draw you in.2 stars after 1/2 part of book. 3 stars for the ending. So it was disappointing when a story that starts good and become bad after 1/2 part.
I don't read much romantic YA as the repetitive plots and vapid leads don't usually interest me, but this book is #1 in amazon--has been for a while now, so I thought maybe there's more to it. Turns out I was right.The author takes the usual YA themes of unrequited love, falling for your best friend, sexual confusion and coming out issues, wraps them in an engrossing plot, throws in engaging characters and dialogue, and voila, a YA book that even adults will enjoy.

I bought my first lesbian novel at Borders Bookstore in 1998. Their gay & lesbian section was tucked away in a dark corner shelf, and only had about 20 different books. The book that I purchased was the only lesbian novel they had available for sale.

Neither can remember a time when they were not there for one another. So when Kendall's life is transformed by Hollywood and its haze of glamour and perfection, her love for Payton becomes a secret she must guard. Can the two young women
3.5 stars, rounded up because best friends turned lovers is my favorite trope and I was really in the mood for a story like this, about cute young lesbians in love.I had some issues with how fast everything happened, especially towards the ending. There was barely time to process the smaller issues before they were solved, and the bigger issues were dealt with so quickly too that they didn't feel big enough to warrant as much drama as they did. (If this even makes sense.) Major spoilers version:
This book had so many issues. Honestly, if it wasn't LGBT representation, I would have put it down about 10 pages in.First, the author uses "retarded" as an adjective at least 3-5 times. This is absolutely appalling to me. And considering the little quips throughout, it's obvious that the author is up-to-date on media representation and social issues (at least for LGBT I suppose), that I just can't imagine how she would think that using this word in the manner that she did would be even close to
