THE BOOK IS GETTING SO GOOD ! Courtland the main character I would say has a lot of thinking to do. There's this boy [Aleen] that's in the book and that was also mentioned in the first post. Come to find out he's in one of her classes. Aleen is good looking and the most popular player on the basketball team. And now hes putting the moves on her. Not sexual but has began to talk to her. He wants her to tutor him since he's "behind". However, Courtland participates in a group that teaches teens that their virginity is a gift and that they should wait until marriage to give the gift away. So she wears a pearl necklace to symbolize that. With that said if Aleen's looking for anything [hint. hint] he's not going to get far. Well lets hope NOT! Also, there's a lot of tension at home. Her father is a workaholic and is not really home much. And when he is he barely pays attention to anyone. Which I personally thinks has a bigger affect on Courtland's mother. OH! Let's not forget Courtland's sister. She loves her gameboy. Every time she's brought up in the book she's playing it. [giggles]
