This book had such promise! The writer writes very well, but her ideas are somewhat all over the place. At some points, she makes such a wonderful observation, and then at other places, well, it's just dumb. (A kid's grades will fall because she learns to drive?)Also, the author doesn't seem to know how teenagers function/behave/speak at all. Not at all at all.
The "bad guy" turns himself in? Seriously?
However, I love the overall concept of this book. I was hoping for so much more.
