Darling, Angela, Crush: Lauren’s Beach Crush. Simon Spotlight, 2013. Language: G, Violence: G, Sexual Contet: PG
Seventh grader, Lauren likes to plan out everything. So, when things don’t go intended as she tries to get a cute boy to notice her, Lauren is thrown off her game. Her friend, Chrissy tells her to be herself, but can Lauren learn to go with the flow and trust her instincts?
Too much of a he loves me, he loves me not book. Although the book has potential for teaching preteens a good lesson, the characters are generic and don’t spark a relationship with the reader. It’s saving grace, however, is that it does eventually get to the feel-good message that one can predict from page 1. Would not recommend for most schools. EL (4-6). NO.
