Publishers Copy:
All Elise wants is to have her first kiss before she turns sixteen. Is that so bad? But when a friend's poor advice and the powers of electronic technology combine, Elise heads down a dangerous road. She is accused of "sexting" and gets kicked out of school. But is she really the one to blame?
This powerful and realistic story from beloved author Melody Carlson shows teen girls the impact of their choices when it comes to respecting themselves and their integrity. Honest and relevant, Never Been Kissed will make girls laugh, cry . . . and think.
My Review:
This great book was a slight departure from most Christian Young Adult books. Covering issue like "sexting" it pushes the envelope in a way that is both relevant and spot on for today's youth.
You can see where Elise is making wrong turns & want to stop her, but like the youth of today, it's often too much, too soon.
Melody Carlson stands out in a field of YA authors, nailing the language of today's youth and the struggles they face in this book. As a reader, she always leaves you wanting more.
Pick this one up for your teen or yourself today!
