Review: Disappointing

(SPOILERS AHEAD) I must confess to a soft spot regarding stories about childhood sweethearts reunited as adults ("One day" for ex.) which is why I bought this book despite some doubts. And the beginning is pretty good.But... It was oh-so-predictable and cliche, the boy insisting for the girl's virginity, the local blond vamp-tramp miss popular stealing him...Also, I didn't buy into the love story. This is infatuation. All the characters seem able to do is to make one another miserable. It reminded me of "Twilight" with wanting to shout "get a grip!" to the girl every other page.(But don't get me wrong, I liked "Twilight" and thought it was a lot better!)All in all, I felt the book "scratched" the surface of possibilities, both plot and character development, without really taking off.
