I liked this book a lot during the middle, but then the ending kind of disappointed me. It ended so abruptly, with many questions left unanswered. However, I enjoyed the characters and the themes the author brought up in her work. She just needed to make it longer, I think, and wrap up the story line a bit more. The characters' stories were far from over, and I felt cheated because of it. Still, a good book overall.

Megan, Kit, Elaine e Mia sono amica dalla terza media, quando si sono conosciute grazie a un progetto di poesia e hanno deciso di essere amiche per sempre. Al terzo anno di liceo vorrebbero solo pensare al college e ai ragazzi, ma Kit rimane incinta. Si appoggia alle amiche per tutto, ma dentro Megan scatta qualcosa: ha sedici anni, non vuole fare da balia a una sua amica. Scrive per il giornale delle scuola e vuole pubblicare un'inchiesta sul sesso e gli adolescenti, perché è evidente che è un argomento di cui sanno poco.

È una collana che proporrei a tutti i ragazzi, perché li coinvolge al di là del tecnicismo in cui si rischia di cadere parlando di questi argomenti e dimenticandosi del cuore.

* Che succede se qualcuno smette di essere quello che credevi che fosse?
* Non mi piace che le cose cambino. A volte questo mi fa arrabbiare, quasi che il mondo debba restare fermo solo per me. Provano tutti questa sensazione o sono solo io?
