10 Sec Lit Crit (special prom edition): Prom Season

Call for your limo, pin on your corsage, and spike the punch: here's our last of our series of reviews of new PROM-THEMED novels from our mighty teen reviewer, Hannah.

A novel split into thirds, Prom Season: Three Novels is an...interesting read. While Jane is desperate to be popular and Nicole is intent upon finding the hotty she met at the prom dress store she works at, Christie deals with a more serious problem--her mother's breast cancer. The three novels tie in together quite well, but that's about the only good thing I could find about this book. All three stories end sickeningly sweetly, and they remind me of books written in the '70s. My friends and I, full of the dirty minds instilled in most high school students, had more fun circling the passages and sentences in the book that could be turned into double entendres than actually reading it. I don't recommend it, unless you want to read a cheesy story with a happy ending where everything turns out mostly alright. It's kind of like a chickflick with extra sugar... not very good for you.
