review 1: I liked this book, mostly because I can relate to it. The author almost exclusively focuses on the main character's (Martha) relationship with an older, married man, with a few asides about Martha's complicated relationship with her father. Granted, the complicated relationship is most likely the reason she sought out this other father figure, but I feel like the author could have explored that more or more pointedly, I suppose. However, the end of the book was perfect-- realistic and sad, yet in an optimistic way. A pretty decent coming-of-age story.
review 2: When Martha falls in love with Mr. Booker, her mother's much older, married friend, she begins a torrid love affair spanning the end of her teenage years. Cory Taylor crafts a mesmerizing tale of lust, t... moreold through the eyes of a young, lovestruck girl. The reader will instantly recognize the nativity of the protagonist, and the parallels between Martha's relationship with Mr. Booker and that of her divorced parents. Filled with sexual tension, silly fantasies and hopeless dreams, Taylor's novel is a speeding car that doesn't let go until it crashes, leaving pieces of Martha's heart on the ground. This is for fans of coming-of-age stories and proves a solid effort from an exciting literary voice. less
