Summary:


     Ashleigh's boyfriend, Kaleb, is about to leave for college. So at a legendary end-of-summer pool party, Ashleigh's friends suggest that she text him a picture of herself -- without the swimsuit -- to take with him. Before she can change her mind, Ashleigh has snapped a photo and hit "send."

    But when Kaleb and Ashleigh go through a bad breakup, Kaleb forwards the text to his baseball team. Soon the photo has gone viral, attracting the attention of the school board, the local police, and the media. In the midst of the scandal, Ashleigh feels completely alone -- until she meets Mack at community service. Not only does Mack offer a fresh chance at friendship, but he's the one person in town who received the text of Ashleigh's photo and didn't look.

SPOILERS LIE AHEAD DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!!
     
     I thought that this book was okay. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked it but there are a few issues I had with this novel.

1)The characters!
                I was never realty able to relate with any of the characters which could really harm someone’s liking of a book.

2)The Message!!
        So I get how the author wanted to show how sexting can ruin someone's life but I thought that...I don't know I just thought that something was lacking to make this story better than it was. I never felt like the main character had to go through anything because of the mistake that she made.

3)The Romance!!

       I think that we all thought that Ashleigh and Mack were going to get together but it never happened!UGG

4)The Ending!!
      I simply just thought that the everything being okay for Ashleigh was a little too far fetched and that it was a little weird that she didn’t have to go through anything.
