Synopsis
A Forever for the 21st Century. Audrey is a good girl: a good student, daughter and friend. She's also the last person anyone expects to be with Luke DeSalvio, the biggest player at school. On the night she dumps him, someone takes her picture doing something good girls just don't do...The next Monday, messages begin popping up on people's phones and email inboxes. Soon everyone knows, including her teachers, her mum and her dad! Now she must discover strength she never knew he had, find friends where she didn't think she would, and learn that life goes on - no matter how different it is to how you think it's going to be.

Better Than I Expected
I was a little too dismissive when i first got this book, but i decided to give it a try as i love reading....within the first few pages i was sucked in and couldn't wait to find out what happened next, this is a very good read for teenage girls as it deals with everything from parents, friends, school, the future, boyfriends/sex etc although Audrey is portrayed as a good girl who goes to church and gets straight A grades the stuff she gets up to is the opposite, i wouldn't recommend girls under 16 reading this as the sex is quite graphic but it follows Audrey as someone sends a picture around which is her in a very compromising position. Its a shock when you discover who actually sent the picture and its interesting to follow how Audrey pieces back her life having fallen out with her parents and friends and her school work suffering, a worth while read though

Good girls, Good book.
I adored this book.

Audrey Porter- A girl who wants to head out into her future, but at the same time is worried about what lies ahead and what she'll be leaving behind, namely her friends, Ash and Joelle.

Audrey's conflicting emotions about her on-off, friend-with-benefits, Luke DeSalvio, come to an end when she decides to break it off at Joelle's Halloween party. After giving Luke one last gesture of affection, Audrey thinks it's all over. Of course, it's far from over. A picture is taken of Audrey and Luke by a mysterious assailent and spread all around the school- Even Audrey's teachers and parents see it.

Audrey's struggle to cope with the humiliation, cold treatment from Luke and rocky patches with her friends in an endearing, addictive read, especially if you've ever been humiliated in high school. (I could very much empthasise) Audrey throws herself into her studies to distract herself, and makes a tentative friendship with Pam and Cindy, two girls at her school with slutty reputations (ironically, Cindy is a virgin and Pam her 'sworn off' men.) Once Ash and Joelle come back into the picture, the five friends slowly begin to learn about boys, becoming adults and each other. Audrey's wry sense of humour and easy-going personality are very endearing, and her relationship with Luke and her paretns go through good times and bad, with Audrey coming out of it all as a stronger person. A twist right near the end of the book comes as a surprise, but ultimately is accepted. The ending is somewhat in-between, but it was highly enjoyable and an excellent read.

!3 stars!
!I was really looking forward to reading this book!It had a great blub to it and i was expecting a 5 star book. It started off good. But then it got worse and worse. I give up reading the book it got so bad. After a while i gave the book another try. I read it until the end. The end had a small twist but nothing too shocking. Over all the storyline is orignal but dry.
I dont recomended it. There are much better books out there to read!
