Title: completely forgettable
Product review: Given the slants on the traditional coming-of-age story, I was astounded at how boring and shallow this book was. After 50 pages, I no longer cared what brand of jeans Walker was wearing, what color her current boyfriend/best friend was, or what drugs she was taking at the time of their relationship. Her teenage escapades blurred together because not a single character was developed and explored. Nor were Walker's feelings of ambivalence other than a few token tries thrown in here and there. She goes from someone who apparently did anything to fit in to a high school senior militantly proud of her African American identity. And we are glad she has apparently resolved some major issues. However we are left with absolutely no clue as to why. In the end, I couldn't figure out if I was missing something or if there was simply nothing to miss.
