I'm an adult who loves to read YA novels like Shiver, Need, the House of Night series, the Twilight series, and MANY other really good books that, while they are classified as YA, they're pretty universal and simply about teenagers.
Falling for Romeo is more along the lines of a romance novel for pre-teens. John is too perfect, and his biggest problem is with his father (and it's on his father's side, not John's.) Jenn is not written as perfect as John, since she has her catty "teen" moments like spreading gossip and expecting John to be able to read her mind, but still, she's the perfect embodiment of what a pre-teen would think it's like to be a teenager.
There's nothing wrong with this novel EXCEPT that it's YA for the younger crowd. It was a cute story and I did finish reading the book (initially I put it down, being so surprised at the juvenile writing and the many editing mistakes.) I recommend this book for kids 8-15 years old. There's kissing, a lot of it, and some random changing clothes "OMG, he saw me in my underwear" moments, but no sex or drugs or underage drinking.
If you're an adult who likes YA, you can safely skip this one :)
