Josie can hardly believe it when she catches the eye of a hot, popular senior - she's just a freshman. She's excited by the attention and ready to explore this relationship. But when she finds out that all he wants is sex - and that he's made that clear to all of his friends - Josie is embarrassed, hurt, and angry. She decides to use the library's copy of Forever to write a warning to other girls.Josie is one of three teens featured in this book; Nicolette, a girl who likes exploring her sexuality but is concerned about how other people see her, and Aviva, a smart senior unaligned with any clique, also get their turn at the narrative, sharing how they too began relationships with this guy. I'm still adjusting to reading verse novels, but I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a great way to delve into the different voices and headspaces of all three characters.
