Addison Blakely: Confessions of a PK by Betsy St.Amant

In this book we follow Addison Blakely on her journey to find who she really is, not only who she has always been expected to be as a preacher's kid and let me tell you this journey is not going to be easy, as Addison meet Wes the typical bad guy she is comforted with some interesting decisions and has to stand strong to her beliefs. I liked Wes but sometimes I didn't agree with the way they where handling their relationship or the lack of it.

I'm glad this story had romance and yet no explicit sexual references, this is not so normal for a young adult book these days and sometimes it's nice to have a little change.

I can say I never got bored reading this book, the story holds some interesting dilemmas and the flow of the writing is good.

Great review. I just finished reading this and this part of your review is bang on "I liked Wes but sometimes I didn't agree with the way they where handling their relationship or the lack of it." Had the same thought!
