I understand this is a novella. I also understand it's written for a younger demographic. That being said, there is little character/story development.Such high school angst - he blows town the day after the homecoming dance (no need to worry about that pesky second semester). A mere 5 years later he's a major tattoo star, a la Ed Hardy I guess. Meanwhile she is SO smokin' hot she's been going to college although dirt poor with no family. Neither has moved on because their sex was just so incredible (but they've both slept around a lot), which is I guess how they know the other is the hottest lay out there. I just can't help but feel if we had focused on more story and less current slang (bee-yotch, hella, et al), as well as lots of time devoted to her naturally occurring lubricative juices, we might've had an interesting foray into an intriguing subculture. Maybe. But I doubt it. Who am I to second-guess the lure of great sex? No sequel for me, though.
