A perfectstar rating Let me be the first to bring that down,
No comment really, just that I was bored out of my wits and really had to force myself to finish it, Needell's short stories remind us that growing up can really suck, We are pressured, disappointed by people who are supposed
to mean something, and navigate too many "firsts" in a way that society expects to be kept private.
For any adolescent mind that really thinks "no one gets it" I assure you, these characters get it, Needell unearths private moments of teens experimenting with sex, idyllic beauty, drugs and relationships, These first person fictional accounts are exactly what a group of teen girls and boys need to devour, digest, and discuss, As a teacher of adolescents, I look forward to presenting these somewhat radical and raw stories to a small reading group, as teens always appreciate when you give them "something real.
" I appreciate how these stories will transcend their thinking to realize that, as Needell avows, nothing is real, Amazing! My favorite story in the book was 'My Name is Adam,' but you're sure to enjoy the others as well, If you like reading young adult, and realistic fiction, then this book of short stories is perfect!
