(I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review)Teenagers just as it title says is about this group of teenagers. Although at first the book presents Samantha and her story as a Sign, when she began to remember this is put to one side. This is the story of everything that happened way before she found out what she is.At first it was a little hard follow the change of narrator, because we read from every character's point of view (and there are more than six of them). But after you get all the characters and understand who is who, the story becomes really interesting and evolves really fast. This proves that you really HAVE TO GIVE EVERY BOOK A CHANCE, don't give up in the first pages or you will miss the best part.The contemporary scene is very good written. Is hard to find a book that really captures the teenager essence, but of course, the author is a young woman and she has inspired in her real life, that is way the dialogues and the plot always feels natural. Everything they do is just real and it is easy to feel like you are hearing a friend telling you something that just occurred to him or her.This is one of those fast reading books because is a short one and it leaves you wanting for more.I think is a great strategy to use your own life as inspiration. You can't be wrong when you write about your true feelings and even though many of the facts are not real (I don't think the author is really a Sign) Samantha made a really good job capturing the "teenage spirit".Originally posted at: [...]
