I know, there's definitely a difference and I hope that it's not as common as fiction seems to make it out to be - that parents frequently just go off and leave their kids by themselves for no reason. It was actually a really sweet romance, which I wasn't expecting at all :) Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694156080937232949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-85030067888909361082014-03-14T21:06:53.033+00:002014-03-14T21:06:53.033+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694156080937232949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-3338019070949036092014-03-14T16:27:57.535+00:002014-03-14T16:27:57.535+00:00Definitely shows the differences, at sixteen I was...Definitely shows the differences, at sixteen I was studying as much as I could for my GCSE's. But, I just wasn't that person anyway, but I knew people who were, who would come into school with a hangover on an exam day. I didn't get that at all. Ugh, yeah, it's not the way you're brought up, but to some extent , it kind of is too, but you can't just blame it on that, or having an absent parent. I was raised by one parent. I guessed I'd have to read this one to understand <i>why</i> but, you find a stranger in your garage and just basically shrug it off? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Oh god, "too charming to be dangerous" you kidding? Yes, that's what everyone says about serial killers. :l I think this one would probably annoy me too much, but glad you enjoyed it. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957514015448707063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-82076710403721289252014-03-13T22:19:00.331+00:002014-03-13T22:19:00.331+00:00Definitely!

I generally want happy in contemporary books....I do completely agree with the whole "where are the parents" critique. I just wish authors would be a little more realistic about this aspect of teenage life. ~Sheriyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-23110944721643923202014-03-12T17:38:13.390+00:002014-03-12T17:38:13.390+00:00I have to agree on the whole 'AWOL' parent...I have to agree on the whole 'AWOL' parents aspect in American themed books, I don't understand it all personality; I can't sneeze without my Mum knowing how long I've had the cold for based on the sneeze, let alone sneaking out! However, I felt the same on the book, just a star less I think, or half a star, I also got wrapped up in the sweet romance after a while, but I couldn't look past Hanley's attitudes some of the time. I also liked the aspects covered in it.<br />This is a great review hun :DAmanda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357839391966441808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-80440717218155902002014-03-12T16:02:15.351+00:002014-03-12T16:02:15.351+00:00Ah, yes, the absent or oblivious parent.

I loved their interaction and though it was mushy at parts I enjoyed it. It's interesting to see what you thought of the partying stuff - I don't live in the US either, and I guess it is pretty common there. Still seems weird though, right? xD<br />Great review!<br /><br />Richa @ <a href="http://ecstatic-for-books.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">City of Books</a>Richahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025677803675571563noreply@blogger.com
