Sweethearts

Sweethearts by Sara Zarr

Stars: 2 out of 5
Genre: Fiction
Age group: 15 and up

When I picked up, Sweethearts, I thought it would be about 2 young lovers who get separated then meet again, fall in love, and then get married.

Like most things, I was wrong.

Sweethearts is about 2 outcasts, Jennifer and Cameron. When Cameron disappears, Jennifer is devastated that her only friend is gone. In high school, Jennifer changes and known as the popular Jeanna. Life is good until Cameron comes back and Jeanna is afraid that Jennifer will slip out.

Sweethearts was an unique book. The characters were original. The plot was one of a kind. You won't find another ending like this. Sweethearts is written in the future and Jenna/Jennifer is looking back at the beginning. I liked that part because it kept the book interesting.

Like Story of a Girl, Sara Zarr wrote a unique, one of a kind, and original book.
