How to Date Like a Guy:
1. Flirt constantly.
2. Keep your options open.
3. Don't get attached.
Cassie and her two best friends, Greta and Keagan, are so over boyfriends. But just because the girls are anti-boyfriend doesn't mean they're anti-boy. So they make a pact for the summer: They'll each kiss ten different guys before school starts—no commitments, no drama, just fun. Sounds easy enough. Then Cassie meets the perfect guy (nine boys too soon), and the pact starts to seem like a terrible idea. Not to mention Boy Number One turns out to be her best friend's ex. Ugh—Cassie's summer just went from carefree to complicated faster than she can say "heartbreaker."

This review is from: Boy Crazy (Paperback)
Cassie just got home from boarding school where her ex-boyfriend broke her heart. She's not ready to dive into summer.But her two best friends she hasn't seen in forever have a plan. They're going to spend the summer dating boys - and NOT get tied down. Each of them must kiss ten boys during the summer. Cassie has the perfect summer job, giving biking tours on an island, but she and her friends go out at night to relax. Gretta and Keagan start off just fine and Cassie gets into the plan - until she meets one particular boy. At first she tests him, but soon he breaks down her barriers and she agrees to go on a date with him. Despite the warning from her friends, Cassie soon finds herself tied down. Now she's ditching her friends to be with her secret boyfriend, and her summer's gone from carefree to stressful. Can she bring her two worlds together as one or will she have to choose between them? I loved this book. It's a great summer romance that makes you feel the sun and is filled with drama, boys, and having a good time. Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel

Junk,
By Derek - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boy Crazy (Paperback)
To be honest, I occasionally enjoy hailey abbott's books because they are fun to read. Yes, they're shallow trash but fun to read nonetheless. I could barely get past this one around the first party scene. While I understand parties = drinking, sex, drugs, etc it irritated me how the girls were so eager to get drunk. The fact that Abbott didn't give them any concerns about the party annoyed me. Then, the friend getting drunk and making out with a boy, again same irritations. Could she have been sober? Is that so bad? Clearly, she was in the common party rape pattern. The two other girls just glossed over the fact that the girl was getting wasted and was clearly going to be raped. I'm not a prude but where are the morals? If they had been a bit more responsible about the drinking it'd be whatever. Many girls have been raped in a similar fashion as this scene. I'm angered that hailey Abbott could give her characters such irresponsibility and carelessness of the dangers of drinking at parties.

Boy Crazy,
By Audrey - Published on Amazon.com
Title: Boy CrazyAuthor: Hailey Abbott Genre: YA fiction Publishing Information: 304 pages; April 28th, 2009 by Harper Teen Series: Stand alone Where I got it: E-book from the library One sentence: For their first summer reunited, Cassie and her best friends Greta and Keagan decide to switch things up and leave commitments at the door as they dare each other to kiss ten different boys by the end of the summer; the only problem? Cassie may have met the perfect guy way too soon. Themes: Romance, summer, bet, boys, high school Main character: 2.5/5 It wasn't that Cassie was a completely unlikable main character; on the contrary, I enjoyed her point of view immensely. I simply wished Abbott had given me more background on her, or at least developed Cassie into a multi-layered character. For what the novel was, Cassie was a very relatable character who represented a wide cross-section: a girl who liked to have fun, but was a little intimidated by the ten boys proposition. Secondary characters: 2/5 Keagan and Greta similarly seemed very one-sided: both seem to conform to a certain stereotypes whether it was the control-freak or the flirty girl. I think the novel would have taken on that higher level if the characters had been more developed. Trey seemed slightly more complex, but insincere at times and just lacking a general likeability. Writing style: 3/5 While the writing style wasn't especially mature, it was easy to read and the pacing was fast enough to keep my attention, but not so fast that I was completely lost. The dialogue was down-to-earth and realistic, and made it an enjoyable style. Plot: 3/5 A cute but overdone premise. I enjoyed the twists and turns, but there was really nothing I hadn't seen before. Some of the background info was lost and more was needed to complete the story and make some things logical. Ending: 4/5 Different than I expected. The entirety of the book had been very predictable, so the ending was surprisingly innovative and mature. Best scene: The scene at the club Positives: Relatable main character, sufficient writing style and plot, ending Negatives: Nothing spectacular or special, boring and unlikeable secondary characters First Line: "I declare this a ten-boy summer!" Cover: Cute; definitely fits with the beachy-read look. Verdict: A fun, if predictable, summer beach read; light-hearted and carefree. Rating: 5.8 / 10 |
