review 1: Photography is a hobby and a passion for many people. In Flash Burnout, by L.K. Madigan, Blake and Marissa are best friends who take a photography class together. A photo is worth a thousand words, and those words depend on angle, perspective, and focusing enough to prevent a flash burn out from happening. The problems ahead that are waiting to happen. Blake, a sixteen year old confused sophomore, is dating Shannon, a over emotional soft and quiet fifteen year old sophomore girl. While Blake is in a relationship with Shannon, he hangs out with Marissa, a trendy outgoing fifteen year old sophomore, who is one of his best friends. Blake tries to help Marissa in every way, and he even talked Garrett, his eighteen year cadaver loving jock of a brother, to help them. Unfortuna... moretely being the guy Garrett is he has frequent hook ups with Cappie, a psychotic eighteen year old senior transfer from Texas who works at the radio station. All these things with personalities that clash spells out disaster. Having an older sibling in high school with you is horrible Not to mention their random hook ups who torment your life that you get to deal with. Blake and Shannon, are dating. During lunch Garrett’s friends with benefits girl, Cappie makes an announcement to the entire school: Blake cheating on Shannon with Marissa. Quite frankly it is possible, but Blake is not cheating on Shannon. Extreme embarrassment comes to two people, who are just friends, and pain comes to a new couple, who are dating for the first time each. An angle that Cappie is using and completely wrong, but why on Earth is she doing such a thing. She does call things like she sees them, but she does it to three innocent people. What a rude person. Your first girl/boy friend is where you learn what to say and not to say during different situations. Shannon and Blake are newbies at this, so they both are in need of a little help. Shannon is busy with sports, and Blake is constantly trying to help Marissa out with homework and home life issues. The sad thing is the root of these issues is her mom, a abandoning run off tweak-er. From Blake’s perspective Shannon is the girl of his dreams who he loves, and are him and Marissa more than friends like everyone says? Marissa has a different view: Shannon a girl who her best guy friend is dating who she really cares less about. While Shannon is totally lost, is Marissa going to take away my boyfriend whom I love? Finally, Shannon is going ballistic on Blake about him and Marissa hanging out all the time. Blake is trying to convince Shannon there is nothing going on, but him and Marissa are getting closer and closer by the minute. Confusing for family, friends, and acquaintances is making these three’s lives more messed up by the second. Family members dying and the thought from close calls makes most people, especially girls, very emotional. Marissa’s mom goes missing, and the morgue has a new tweaking middle aged female to be investigated. Being the good friend that Blake is, him and with the help of Garrett, who loves cadavers and works at the morgue, sneak Marissa in. Thankfully it’s not her mom, but Marissa is a wreck and needs a friend. As they say, “We got carried away, one thing just lead to another,” but truthfully it does happen. If you allow something to happen, I promise you it will happen. Hurt, terror, hatred, betrayal, and happiness, who knew all these things could come from one action? A flash burnout is when the camera is not focused enough and the flash blurs out the entire subjects of the picture. The flash burnout has occurred in this situation too, everything is ruined, over with, and done. Shannon hates Blake and Marissa with a passion. I can’t say I blame her either. As for Blake and Marissa they have been socially shunned and their lives are officially over. Life is going to be pretty rough for these three.While Flash Burnout is a good young adult realistic fiction book, the book very well could of happened and of been written off of previous experience Written from a teenagers point of view i suggest teenagers of both genders to read this book. As a personal rating this book deserves a 4 star rating. The reason I docked Flash Burnout a 1 star is because there were a few dull moments and the outcomes of situations are very predictable; however, I did find it was very enjoyable to read. Find out for yourself what these kids all went through and read Flash Burnout, by L.K. Madigan.
review 2: Read it in 3 hours. I stayed up, pouring over this book into the early hours of the morning, hoping that it might get better, that someone would make a good decision and someone would fall in love and live happily ever after. Instead... My favorite character ran away from her problems with her trashy mother, the girl he should've loved ended up hating him and being miserable, and the boy drowned his sorrows with adrenaline rushes. And the worst part? I will never get those hours of sleep back. less

I thought this book would be "deeper," but it really seemed to be geared toward younger people.

Easy read! I could totally hear the author's teenage boy voice. Loved and hated the ending.
