This book promoted everything that parents and teachers do not want their teenagers to do!! The "heroine" of the novel disputes authority, sleeps with her boyfriend, gets drunk, stays out late on a school night--wandering around downtown, and then passes out condoms to everyone at her high school prom. Her parents are ineffectual and let their daughter do anything she wants. She skips classes, and skips school and finds the whole "school thing" a bother and contemplates dropping out from time to time.This is supposed to be a comedy??? Don't waste time reading this book!
