This novel, in the beginning, feels cliche of Young Adult literature. It begins with a girl in High School trying to decide if she wants to date her best friend Jewel, since the age of two, who she has recently developed feelings for or the popular jock Simon, who has a shallow love for Alice. As the story develops, it is obvious that Alice is going to have to learn from experience. This novel confirmed to me that some lessons can simply be learned only by experience.
I enjoyed the novel as it developed further. As Alice experiments being the girlfriend of the popular Simon who everyone at school knows, she soon discovers that she does not want to be this girl. Slowly, she returns to the comforting arms of Jewel who knows everything about her. I liked this book because Alice is faced with a decision to make, ans she ultimately discovers who she really is rather then who she has been pretending to be. And, I love the feel good ending (which I won't give away).
