Gabe’s Second Chance started out to be amazing with the rescue and subsequent car chase. I was impressed with Karissa and her ability to stay calm for Toby was realistic and amazing. From there it went into how Gabe broke Karissa’s young heart to the point I was wondering if the author was brow beating that fact into Gabe or the reader. I didn’t mind the romantic mushy stuff since a lot of it was actually really sweet. I was slowing getting bummed out as the story progressed because everything after the car chase scene was pretty anticlimactic even with the near run ins with the bad guys. I am wondering if my first reaction to this book is because I started with book 3 instead of book 1 and so I have decided that I am going to obtain the first 2 books in the series and go from there, maybe it will change my thoughts on Gabe’s Second Chance.

The truth about Jane [VHS tape] di Lee Rose

"The Truth About Jane is the story of a mother's struggle to come to terms with her teenage daughter's announcement that she is a lesbian. Fifteen-year-old Jane (Ellen Muth) lives the quintessential suburban life with her parents, Janice (Stockard Channing) and Robert (James Naughton), and younger brother Brad (Kacy Clark). Janice and Jane are incredibly close and honest with each other. Despite being popular, Jane has always felt somewhat different from her peers. When she befriends female transfer student Taylor (Alicia Lagano) during her first year of high school, Jane feels a connection that she's never had with any of her other friends. When it is revealed that Jane's relationship with Taylor is of a romantic nature, it is Janice--whose best friend Jimmy (RuPaul Charles) is gay--who refuses to adhere to the 'live and let live' credo when it comes to her own daughter. Finally realizing the gravity of her actions, Janice makes every attempt to come to terms with the situation before it is too late and the relationship with her daughter is lost forever." -- Viewer's guide.… (altro)
