Honest to Blog!
I liked Good Girls. It had a lot of emotion and characters who feel like real people. These characters are in every high school in america. They don’t preach just work hard at being the best they can be. A few things are annoying and I think noticeable by teens. You can tell that this book was written by an adult who is reflecting on their teen days. It also bothers me when a student’s phone rings the students shout “Phone!”. Ya kids don’t do that. The sex was pretty graphic this was disappointing for me and unnecessary for the author. You can tell about the deed and give a few details but that should be it. The characters are young and I know young kids do this stuff but its just discouraging to think about. Anyways I do appreciate the realistic way the author deals with the picture. Also Laura Ruby has guts to bringing up the topic of STDs and HPV. Another thing that bugs me is that not all teens are happy about their choices, especially when it comes to sex. Maybe she could of focused on that a bit more, make it a bigger deal to be with the one instead of just any one. Over all I think teens will like it and as for the sex there is worse out there.
