Title: underappreciated debut
Review: I eschew Chick Lit, and I hesitate about potentially melodramatic thrillers. Fortunately, this is neither. Ms. Jackson has created full, complex and sympathetic (if not always likeable) characters with comprehensible motives. In so many ways, this is a story about family, loyalties and the things you will do for someone you love. Funny, serious and remarkably, not schmaltzy or overwrought, Ms. Jackson has crafted a real, if not politically correct, depiction of adolescent sexuality and expection.
