The dark side of the digital age is revealed in this cautionary
tale about a good girl who is photographed while "hooking up" with
a popular senior. Audrey, an ivy-bound high-school student, is in
love with Luke, a handsome guy she considers unattainable. Their
relationship consists of passionate sexual experimentation at
parties, but barely a hello in the school hallways, and Audrey is
sick of it. However, before she can end it, a photograph of her in
a compromising position is maliciously transmitted to everyone she
knows, including her horrified father, setting off a social and
psychological tsunami for the beleaguered heroine. It's a
pertinent, provocative and mortifyingly dramatic set-up, but the
work veers into polemic territory as Audrey and her friends argue
the issues of the need for connection between love and sex and the
ever-present double standard. The romantic ending fails to
convince, though kids should take heart in Audrey's courage and
comfort in the notion that life goes on, even after a horrific
humiliation. (Fiction. YA) (Kirkus Reviews)
A Forever for the 21st Century. Audrey is a good girl: a good
student, daughter and friend. She's also the last person anyone
expects to be with Luke DeSalvio, the biggest player at school. On
the night she dumps him, someone takes her picture doing something
good girls just don't do... The next Monday, messages begin popping
up on people's phones and email inboxes. Soon everyone knows,
including her teachers, her mum and her dad... Now she must
discover strength she never knew he had, find friends where she
didn't think she would, and learn that life goes on - no matter how
different it is to how you think it's going to be.
