2. The author of this book is Lurlene McDaniel.
3. Actually i started to read this toward the end of the summer and just picked back up on it when we got this assignment. I'm almost half way. I'm a slow reader.
4. So far what happened in this book is that there are these four main characters named Laurie who isn't the most popular girl in school and kind of keeps to herself, Quin a guy who everyone thinks is the most amazing guy in the whole school, Analise who is very responsible and gives school her all, and Then there is Jeremy Analise's boyfriend who is a very sweet and nice guy. Well al of them are brought together by something that I haven't read yet. Anyways what is happening now is that Laurie has a big crush on Quin but she thinks he would never go for her because she is a freshman. Then he randomly comes up to her while she is eating lunch and says, " You're Laurie, aren't you? Want to come to a party with me this Friday night?" She is so amazed he mouth just drops open! She says," This Friday?" and he says, " Yes I'll pick you up at seven and no need for directions i know where you live." He gives her a little flirty smile and walks away. Of course my this time she is all smiley and she has butterflies! She goes home and tells her mom and yes you know moms she blows it up and is so happy for her. Then he comes and they drive off. Well in this book it switches from character to character telling their part of the story from their view. So it switches so Jeremy. Jeremy talks about how much he loves Analise. Back to Laurie. She talks about how they show up at the party and there are boozes and smoking and all that good stuff. Quin has been drinking and she hasn't even finished one beer yet. Then she slips off to the bathroom where an older girl proceeds to tell her that Quin is just a player. And he will date her then dump her. Laurie feels hurt by this because she already seems to know she is out of his league. They finally leave and walk to the car in the cold air Laurie's teeth are chattering. He pushes her up against the car and kisses her hard. Her knees got weak and he runs his hands down her back and pulls her closer for a "better fit." Then he jerks away and gets in the car. She is nervous because she doesn't want anything to happen that she isn't ready for. She says that she has other plans for loosing her virginity then in a backseat of a car in the woods. Nothing happens when they get in the car and then the proceed to leave. On the way home Laurie kind of drifts off. Then she hears a whump and metal scratching against the car and the screech of the cars breaks. The jerk of the car and the tightening of the seatbelt snaps her out of her sleep. She hears Quin swear and she is wondering what is going on he says it was just a deer. He goes outside to see and tells Laurie to stay inside. She sees a giant drop off and she gets really worried she asks Quin if she should call 911 and he says no then he drags some branches over whatever he thought he hit and calls it god then the drive away.
5. So far i think this book is amazing like with all the action thats going on it really kept me locked and I usually don't like to read in my free time.
6. Well maybe the other wrote this because who knows it could of happened to her?
7. I feel like the theme is a bunch of things like don't drink and drive, don't try to cover things up and call it good, be honest and don't get pressured.
8. I like Laurie because in a way we can connect. I'm sure all girls can. Sometimes you just get stuck in that place where you don't want a guy to think your a baby or not like you if you have a really big crush on them so your willing to put a lot on the line for them even if your uncomfortable.
9. " I can't come u with any ideas where Analise might be." (Jeremy) This is important because no one knows what happened to Analise and thats not like her she is very responsible and no one has seen her sense the night she went to babysit the same night of that party.
10. What happened to Analise and is she okay?
