A place to record the books I've read. With a short review on each. I strive to never tell too much of the story to ruin it for anyone. BUT, if it is a picture book, I often tell the endings. “Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper.” ― David Quammen

Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson
Well, it wasn't my favorite, too much swearing for me. I can see the benefit in this book though. I just don't think I'll ever read it again. It wasn't to my liking. I can see how a teen would like the book though and perhaps learn a lesson through it.
I didn't know the purpose for a long time until perhaps the end. The girl did learned a valuable lesson, though I am not sure wading through the "other" stuff was worth it to me but it might be worth it to someone else though.
The girl's name is Ashley Hannigan. The Math teacher took off with the prom money and even if she isn't interested in prom she helps her friend to pull off a prom with limited resources.
