Books - A bad boy can be good for a girl by Tanya Lee Stone
Rate the book: 9
Three very different girls all get sucked in by one cute guy and share their experiences in the back pages of a library book called 'Forever'. This acts as a warning to other girls not to be used by a guy and do things they may regret later. Written in verse it is really easy to read and makes good sense.
