Title: Pretty darn good
Product review: The premise is realistic and the added bits of romance and angst remind me so much of my junior high/middle school years. The basic story is that Jess has to plan a dance for Homecoming, so she gets all her friends to help, forgetting that some don't get along. One of the subtle themes that SV seems to be portraying more and more is to keep an open mind--don't judge on appearance or first impressions. In middle school and high school, this is definitely a theme that should be explored more. Ronald Rheece seems to be a total geek, Bethel very opinionated, and Kristin very superficial, but as the characters get to know one another, it becomes blatantly obvious that everyone has assets and faults, and that we can overcome them if we just keep open minds. This, in itself made the book excellent, but the clincher was the Damon-Jessica romance. Those two are destined to be together.
