Friends Of Choice Linda Nelson 9780557497423 Books

Before I read this book I read the reviews, but I still had some hope for the author and figured I would give it a chance. Bad Idea. It was horribly written with way too many grammatical errors that shouldn't have happened. There were several sentences where she forgot to put end punctuation. The story line could have been really good, but the ending was both too abrupt and the way she ended it could have been way better. I do not intend to recommend this book to anyone and regret reading it.

Friends Of Choice Linda Nelson 9780557497423 Books Reviews

As a parent of two college girls this book scares me. I wish thier was no way kids would drug other kids and set them up for rape. It is written well and I appreciate the information at the end of the story.
Karla is a 16 year old when her family sells their house and moves to a bigger town two towns away. She is not happy with her parents over it. Karla does not get along with her mom. Her mom drinks a lot and is controlling. Karla has a lot of anger.
The first day at new school she meets Carol and makes friends with her. She is suspious of Carol and friends and all the whispering around her. Karla ignores her concerns even when she finds out Carol shops lift and thinks she might take drugs.
The teenagers make a lot of bad choices and slips things too Karla that she does not know and almost kills her. I was given the ebook in exchange for honest review.
Kara moves to a new town, attends a new school and makes new friends, who then set her up for date rape and an overdose of alcohol laced with ecstasy.

***

Author Linda Nelson emphasizes the influence friends can have on teens and the consequences from deceiving parents in this story of Kara, a self-conscious and insecure teen with an alcoholic mother and an enabling father. Kara gets good grades, but more than anything else she wants to belong. She can't believe that Carol wants to be her friend. She overlooks Carol's shoplifting and her uneasy feelings that sneaking around with Carol will lead to trouble.

This story is meant to be a cautionary tale. Responsible parents know who their children's friend are and don't let them associate with the wrong crowd. The moral would appear to be that their children should choose their friends wisely and should not trust them in lieu of their parents, no matter how dysfunctional said parents may be. After all, dysfunctional parents can still be loving parents.

This e-book version of Friends of Choice needs editing. There are some awkward sentences where the meaning is not clear or appears to be opposite to the author's intent. For example, "She took Darcy's place at the table, hoping she would be angry with her for taking her place." I think in this situation Kara would not want new acquaintances to be angry with her. Also several paragraphs in chapter 21 are repeated in chapters 22 and 23. Using "'Kay" repeatedly and referring to certain songs accentuates how out of touch the writer is with current slang and the musical tastes of teenagers. The reader is left wondering if the parents lost their old house to foreclosure and how they could afford to buy a new, bigger house with an outdoor pool. Finally, the story ends abruptly with all of the characters hanging in limbo.
Ok. It was alright considering that she kind of didn't have a story line. It was kind of jumpy. Ok.
I liked it but it was very boring and dragged. I usually get into books but it took me a long time.
This book was very ummm hmmm interesting. It has its ups a nd downs but it's alright. But the girl was flat out stupid as I don't know for tryin to please everybody but ha self. That cnt b me cuz I don't let cool tell me what I will do or want to do or boss me about like I'm there slave r child......but the girl in the book was flat out dumb. Regardless this book rocked!
I just wasnt really into this book but once I start one I have to finish it. I didn't like the way the author wrote and described her characters and settings. There was a good message behind it though.
No the greatest not the worst.It gave a good message most of all.A good read for teens doing drugs. Two stars
