HTML: Taking a hard look at the societal constraints on teenage girls, Morris Award nominee Carrie Mesrobian tells one girl's story with bracing honesty and refreshing authenticity. By her senior year of high school, Rianne has exhausted all the fun there is to have in small-town Wereford, Minnesota. Volleyball season is winding down, the parties feel tired, and now that she's in a serious relationship with reformed player Luke Pinsky, her wild streak has ended. Not that she ever did anything worse than most guys in her school...but she knows what everyone thinks of her. Including her parents. Divorced but now inexplicably living together again, Rianne wonders why they're so quick to point out every bad choice she's making when they can't even act like adultsâ??or have the decency to tell Rianne whether or not they're getting back together. With an uncomfortable home life and her once-solid group of friends now dissolving, the reasons for sticking around after high school are few. So why is Rianne locking step when it comes to figuring out her future? That's not the only question Rianne can't answer. Lately she's been wondering why, when she has a perfect-on-paper boyfriend, she wants anything but. Or how it is that Sergei, a broken-English-speaking Russian, understands her better than anyone who's known her all her life? Andâ??perhaps the most troubling questionâ??why has Rianne gotten stuck with an "easy girl" reputation for doing the same exact things as guys without any judgment? Carrie Mesrobian, acclaimed author of Sex & Violence and Cut Both Ways, sets fire to the unfair stereotypes and contradictions that persist even in the twenty-first cent Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Rianne "Hatrick" Hettrick-Wynne finds herself in a caring relationship with a steady guy who is not threatened by her extensive sexual experience. This should be a good thing, but Rianne finds herself always thinking about a 25 year old Russian university student. She keeps secrets from friends/family/boyfriend. She struggles with the disappointing news that her future big city roommate has decided to stay in their small hometown after graduation. Rianne's mother is selling the house, effectively leaving Rianne on her own after graduation. Rianne has no goals or aspirations, just lets life happen to her. She is a very likable character and I hope there is a sequel so I can learn what happened after she sneaked out of town.
The sexual content may be too heavy for school libraries,but the story is a worthwhile read for older, mature students. ( )
