Bloom
As far as I can tell, this is the best this author has written so far. I think I will take a long and possible endless break from reading any of her books in the future. Not because this book was bad, but because it was just average.The main character, whose name escapes me at the moment, was just your typical, confused teenage girl. She has a perfect boyfriend whose only flaws are the fact that he doesn't want to have sex with her before marriage and he wants to spend the rest of his life with

Lauren Smith's mom left when she was six. Her dad, a distant figure in her life, is rarely there for her. Meanwhile, Lauren is dating perfect Dave.

Interpretation Concering Books Bloom
There's a difference between falling and letting go.
Lauren has a good life: decent grades, great friends, and a boyfriend every girl lusts after. So why is she so unhappy?
It takes the arrival of Evan Kirkland for Lauren to figure out the answer: She's been holding back. She's been denying herself a bunch of things (like sex) because staying with her loyal and gorgeous boyfriend, Dave, is the "right" thing to do. After all, who would give up the perfect boyfriend?
But as Dave starts talking more and more about their life together, planning a future Lauren simply can't see herself in -- and as Lauren's craving for Evan, and moreover, who she is with Evan becomes all the more fierce -- Lauren realizes she needs to make a choice...before one is made for her.
