Negative Positive
Title: welcome to life kiddies
Review: Hawke accuately captures the emotions we go though when we are just gaining our independence from our parents and experimenting in serious romantic relationships. He doesn't cut the embarrassing elements from the main character, but still manages to allow the reader to root for them. And he avoid the cliche ending, but rather give us a real ending. He just shows us that a non-Hollywood ending is ok. I was surprised by how good a book this was, and actually read it again recently after many years and still found it enjoyable. His second book was a disappointment, but based on The Hottest State I'd probably give other works of his a shot.
