MY REVIEW
I really liked this book, it was a fast read for me, I read it in less then a day. I love how you get the whole story from three different points of view, and without each view from all three characters then the story would be incomplete. The story is told through the eyes through Rhiannin, James, and Nicole, all are best friends living in New York attending the same high school. The story takes place in only one week. Rhiannin and her boyfriend Steve just broke and up Steve gave her no reason why. Rhiannin thought things were going great and that they were in love and is devestated. She does everything she can think of to get him back. Come to find out though he's dating her enemy Gloria, a really beautiful mean girl. Then there's James, Rhinannin is his best friend and he can't stand the way Steve just up and dumped her. He tries to convince her he's no good and to move on. James is really protective of Rhinannin when it comes to guys he thinks are not good enough for her. He gets really angry though when he buys her a guft and she doesn't even realize it's from him, he gets tired of chasing after her and figures it's time for her to come to him. James wishes for the day when he has a lot of money so he can have a huge place, he's sick and tired of the small apartment he shares with his family because he nevers has a mintue to himself there.Nicole has just dumped Danny, her first real boyfriend for reasons she doesn't even know herself. Even though they stay friends she finds it hard. She develops a crush on her math teacher Mr. Farrel and thinks he feels the same way towards her. Nicole keeps having memories of her past, which her friends don't know about and a past she would rather foget. This a great book about love and friendship and I really enjoyed it, I would suggest it to anyone looking for a good book.
