Explanation Supposing Books Where It Began

A teen's world comes crashing down in this compulsively readable YA debut that's as literary as it is commercial.

Gabby Gardiner wakes up in a hospital bed looking like a cautionary ad for drunk driving and without a single memory of the accident that landed her there. But what she can recall, in frank and sardonic detail, is the year leading up to the crash.

As Gabby describes her transformation from Invisible Girl to Trendy Girl Who Dates Billy Nash (aka Most Desirable Boy Ever), she is left wondering: Why is Billy suddenly distancing himself from her? What do her classmates know that Gabby does not? Who exactly was in the car that night? And why has Gabby been left to take the fall?

As she peels back the layers of her life, Gabby begins to realize that her climb up the status ladder has been as intoxicating as it has been morally complex...and that nothing about her life is what she has imagined it to be.

Article Appertaining To Books Where It Began
This book did not have a cliché ending; a romantic plot line where girl meets boy, falls in love with boy, faces challenges or opposition in the relationship with boy, and lives happily ever after with boy; or a strong female lead, but nonetheless, I loved this book. Maybe it was the writing that lured me in; or the realization that I probably would have made the same poor choices as Gabby if I were in her situation; or maybe it was recognizing that in my naïve mind, every teenage boy will

No. Just no. This book is really stupid, for lack for a more sophisticated term. Let me tell you why.(Spoilers ahead.)First of all, it is WAY too long. By a good 100 pages or something, in which nothing of consequence happens.Second, there is zero character development. Everyone is one-dimensional--including the main character, whose head we're in! Oh sure, she's an 'artist.' Except that only gets mentioned here and there, instead of being fully shown or explained or reasoned. It's like the

It started interestingly enough with a sense of confusion and not knowing that was conveyed quite effectively. Except the trip down memory lane was not a pleasant one because in the end all I felt was sorry for this girl who's a bit too used to describing herself as sub regular. And lost memory or not, her story was funny~ just not in a funny ha ha way. Her running commentary on being sub-regular and being the moon to Billys earth was in simple terms: off putting and quite disappointing. Yet, I

Such a good testament to teenage drinking and it's consequences. Gabby wakes up in the hospital broken and battered, in really bad shape and in between flyer mother hovering and nurses poking, are the police wanting to get her statement after she apparently drove drunk after stealing her boyfriends car and rammed it into a tree. She was found lying outside the car with the Keys in her hand. Problem is, she has absolutely no memory of any of it. Not the party, not getting into the car, not

How far would you go to cover for a friend? Would you allow your reputation to be torn to tatters? Gabby is the main character of this book. She doesnt make the best choices, she is a fairly good student, and she has a boyfriend and friends. Overall, Gabby is a normal, everyday teenage girl. One wouldnt think that underage drinking, suspensions from school, therapy sessions, etc could happen to a normal, everyday girl. One bad decision can lead to a lifetime of regret. For Gabby, this slightly



I loved this book. Mostly I loved the voice of Gabby Giffords, a girl who is growing up in the "Three B's" (Brentwood, Bel Air, Beverly Hills). Gabby just leaps off the page. Her voice is so believable that I was laughing out loud at her snarky, witty observations of her family (an absent-through-alcohol father and a you-can-find-happiness-through-shopping mother) and her fellow inhabitants of "The Three B's." I can still hear her in my head and wish I could call her up and talk to her.
