Karyn's mom moves from man to man in an attempt to feel wanted, loved. But Karyn doesn't have to try. Her boyfriend, T. J., worships the ground she walks on. Too bad his brother Reed is the one she really loves.
Sevens is the story of seven weeks in the lives of seven teenagers in Saratoga Springs, New York. As the first book opens, the seven main characters stand on the edge. They are facing things that force them to confront their pasts and their very uncertain futures. At first their struggles seem unrelated, but soon the connections between the characters begin to emerge.
Over the course of these seven books, readers will be brought into the lives of these teens. They will share their struggles, feel their pain, and celebrate their successes-all the while gaining glimpses of the single unifying event that irrevocably links these seven lives. It was an event that affected them all differently, but changed each of them forever.
Hard hitting, gritty, and moving, Sevens will keep readers hooked-from the first book to the last
The book opens with Karyn angry about her parents, who are divorced. Her father ran off with a younger woman, and her mother has been, essentially, sleeping around ever since.
Reed is falling for Karyn, who happens to be his brother's girlfriend, but she is also falling for Reed. Jane's parents get on her about taking the SAT retest, and she gets really mad at them.
Karyn and her mother have an argument about sex. Later, her mother tells Karn that Karyn's father is getting remarried. Reed is still upset over Karyn's kissing him, even though he's feeling really attracted to her.
Jane quits the school web site project. Danny and Peter have a short talk. Jane then quits the band. Reed and Peter are becoming fairly close friends. Karyn has sex with T.J. and regrets it, then tells him she thinks they should break up.
Another good book in the series, and, with five books, the author is still able to keep each character interesting on their own, but still, at the same time, manage to have them have significant interplay with each other.
