Summary: Nice Debut Novel!!!
Comment: Learning to Scream tells the tale of Joanne, a 19-year-old who feels that she is the last living virgin. It doesn't help that her sexually-aggressive best friend, Niki is always harping on sex or has declared Joanne's fate as the only virgin on the planet. Niki makes Joanne her project, and proceeds to drag her from club to club in search of a guy who Joanne can "get some" from. After weeks of wrong guys, Joanne realizes that the club scene isn't where she'll find her man, and decides to focus her energy on more important aspects of her life, like school. On a random train ride, Joanne exchanges glimpses with a guy -- Jason -- who she feels is her "love at first sight," and through another chance encounter, Joanne begins a friendship with him. The friendship leads to Joanne's first romantic relationship and things couldn't be better, but lies, secrets and revelations emerge, and Joanne has to decide if she wants to continue a relationship that doesn't feel quite right, or break it off and refocus on what's important, her.
I really enjoyed this novel. It's small, at 128 pages, but the storyline between the pages is nicely developed, the dialogue is crisp, and the story is fluid. I found the characters interesting, and I read fast to see how the story would end. Ms. Nesbit's debut novel is a great read, and provides a message for younger females who are entering the sex/romance stage. I do look forward to more writings by Ms. Nesbit.

Summary: Check this book out!
Comment: I know it's shameless to review your own book, but I really want this book to be a success, so I'm pulling out all the stops!
Like most of the stories I've written to date, Learning to Scream is a young adult romance. Though it is categorized for this small segment of the population, it is a story that can be enjoyed by anyone who have experienced pressure to change who they are. It also will speak to anyone who has had to make tough choices in life. So people of all ages can relate to this story. Learning to Scream is a coming-of-age story about Joanne, a college sophomore who is fed up with her boring predictable life. With the help of her worldly friend Niki, Joanne decides to inject some excitement into her life by striving to lose her virginity. Under Niki's guidance, Joanne tries to be more outgoing, but she soon realizes that Niki's idea of fun is not hers. Once she decides to give up on pursuing the "excitement" of Niki's lifestyle, Joanne suddenly finds herself in a new relationship which tests her loyalty as a friend as well as her own resolve. She soon has to make a choice between what she thought she wanted out of life and what is actually best for everyone involved.
Sound good? I hope so. Now comes your part. All I ask is that you check out the book. It really is something that everyone can relate to. Everyone has felt pressure to "go with the crowd." This is just one story about what happens when you compromise what you know for what someone else promises. I hope you enjoy it!
