Melody Carlson has always been my go-to author for great YA fiction, and Never Been Kissed was another fabulous example of her talent within this genre. I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting, and even though I'm a few years removed from the young adult period of my life, there was plenty in this short book to open my eyes to what teens are involved in today, particularly on the topic of sexting.
Melody's novels are always on the pulse of current teen issues and what's happening in high schools everywhere. Never Been Kissed is just the kind of book that should be read by parents and teens alike. My rating is 4 stars.

I don't normally read YA books, but this one caught my attention due to the subject matter. I like to be aware of issues that affect teenagers, so this book brought to light a topic that I think could easily affect more young adults as time goes on due to the high usage of cell phones and the internet. Definitely a book worth reading by both the teenage group and also parents to be aware of what could easily turn from a good situation to a bad one very quickly.
