Great book for tween & teen girls looking for romance and friendship, story about dealing with pressures of high school
The main character is a "good girl" who focuses on school and swimming - all in the hopes of getting a college scholarship.
Her mother works two jobs and constantly reminds Amy to not lose focus or make the mistake of "getting swept up by love and ruining her future"
But when Amy and Chris begin secretly dating, questions about how to balance SAT's, homework, friendships, and swimming jeopardize everything.

This is a super cheesy, super classy book of love. I LOVED it! What had me was the cheesiness of love that was going on it It was all thinking about each other, putting everything off for each other. I love first love books so if anything the cheesiness made it better.
You first love you will always remember. Amy meets a boy on her swim team and falls in love quickly. Leaving everything and anything behind. She soon realizes that homework won't finish itself and has to put her foot down when it comes to Chris. She always has to decide where there future stands.
What I like most about this book was the choice Amy had to make. Her mother, after a bad relationship always told her to be practical. Don't think about boys think about your future. Amy has to fight with her mom constantly over this issue. I felt for Amy. I knew she loved him but her mother always made her choose. It aggravated me. She made is difficult on her. Amy listen to heart and made the right choice.
The book was really short. But the way the story flowed and ended I love it.

It wasn't the most exciting book I've read, I felt that Amy and Chris' relationship was a shallow one, nothing really deep. Amy is an interesting, round character, so I appreciate the way she was written but the plot was a little lame.

Okay, I guess there is a need for books to tackle this subject. Girl, who has been completely focused on herself and her future, falls in love for the first time and the rest of her life starts to fall apart. It was just a little bland and a little didactic. However, it did have it moments that made it a good, fairly clean teen romance book.
Recommended for middle school and early high school students who like relationship books and might need a reminder that sometimes you need to look out for yourself first.
