What's It About?:
Take Me There is about three New York teenagers. Rhiannon, Nicole and James. James is in love with Rhiannon, and Rhiannon is in love with her ex-boyfriend, Steve, who abruptly decided they would be better off as friends. Nicole is sort of in love with her teacher but also in love with her ex boyfriend who she broke up with because she doesn't like her boyfriends to become too attached to her. Take Me there is told in alternating points of view from all three characters. Its the story of taking the one Mean Girl that everyone hates down, and the great things that happen along the way.

Was It Good?:
Better. It was amazing. I have a small obsession with it. almost like Twilight, like I plan on going to the Bakery that Rhiannon and James go to all the time. Its just an amazing book, and i love everything about it. Susane Colasanti is an amazing author.
