review 1: Aaron's story is a repeat in YA though I question the plausibility of a teen being turned into a narc, but maybe that's my own life experience talking. It had a great opening scene but then kind of lost me in the mundane details and stereotypical characters. I skimmed rather than read in-depth because I felt like been-there, done-that. Though I want a teens perspective because I think they could really relate and would appreciate the story. We'll see. I would push it, but it's just not a favorite of mine.
review 2: When Aaron Foster is stopped for speeding and the cop finds a baggie with weed, Aaron's life takes a major turn . . . and not for the better. To keep from going to jail and making his mom's life more miserable than it already is, he agrees to become ... morea narc. From then on the story is about Aaron's failure as both narc (at least for the most part) and as a boyfriend.The writing is very strong. I was impressed by the cliche-free chapters that still managed to capture the teen voices. And I enjoyed some of the fresh images the author created.I love contemporary, realistic fiction, so I came to this book with a slight bias, but Chappell still had to make be believe in her characters and she did. I felt for Aaron. I recognized his girlfriend, Morgan, and the girl named Skully--sad girls with everything and nothing.The only thing I didn't like 100% was the pacing toward the end of the book. I felt it slowed and didn't build well, and was sorry that happened. less
