Hard Love by Ellen Wittlinger
2.0
A cliche. The straight boy falls for the lesbian and tries to turn her. *sigh*
I liked the zine stuff even though I'm not really sure what zines are and have never read one. What happened between John's parents was never explained. If his dad was abusive that may explain why his mother doesn't like being touched but at the same time if he was I can't imagine John agreeing to have contact with his dad. I liked Diana and thought there was potential there that wasn't explored.
The ending seemed very abrupt and incomplete which frustrated me.
I would like to read the book on Marisol at some point though because I think as a character she has a lot of potential that was left undeveloped here.
