I've never read any of Hannah's books, but Marco really sounds like a stand-out character for sure. I'm glad you ultimately enjoyed it, Christina!<br /><br />Molli | <a href="http://www.onceuponaprologue.net" rel="nofollow"> Once Upon a Prologue</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473351242691599229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-20615377025635045832013-03-19T11:35:01.733-04:002013-03-19T11:35:01.733-04:00Yeah, I've only read two but I liked Teeth a b...Yeah, I've only read two but I liked Teeth a bit better.

I liked Marco in a weird way. He always had these walls up and like you mention it's always the Marco Show. I liked how their relationship is slowly unraveling throughout the story and how everything comes together really well in the end. I think in MG everything has to come together to a good place in the end, it's a MUST for the genre!

Like, those years are SO awkward, and that's when that stuff really starts. Kids need that in books so they know they're not alone!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-650597176966161562013-03-19T08:42:46.493-04:002013-03-19T08:42:46.493-04:00This sounds good.

I mean the age group the book is intended for is when you really do start to explore crushes and all that. I have only read one book by this author and it was a graphic novel. I did enjoy it though.

By middle school people have their crushes, and gay kids are going to have gay crushes. It would be a bit weird if they were sexing it up or something, but it's really not overwhelming or anything. It's cute, like any other MG romance. The romance is really understated, just a crush, for the most part. There's also a heterosexual crush, so it's not like dissing straight couples.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-19854585218601243942013-03-18T10:07:09.557-04:002013-03-18T10:07:09.557-04:00Man, I can't read Hannah Moskowitz books becau...Man, I can't read Hannah Moskowitz books because she really irritates me. I don't think I've forgiven her for talking about female MCs in such a condescending way. Plus, it seems a little political to write a LGBT MG, right? I feel like it is. I don't know. MG just doesn't seem the place to talk about sexuality to me, whether homosexual or heterosexual.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851403823244758904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-61140110045368116432013-03-18T09:15:36.626-04:002013-03-18T09:15:36.626-04:00Oh yeah, Marco definitely isn't some cookie cu...Oh yeah, Marco definitely isn't some cookie cutter stereotype.

I love that Marco (the good and the bad) seems to be defined by a lot more than just his sexual preferences. I'm excited to read this one.Norihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991072472141788180noreply@blogger.com
