Pure is about fourteen - the age when you know everything, except when you don't know anything. It's about first love and the end of innocence, and realizing your family perhaps isn't as happy or your parents as together as you thought. It's about the cool friend for whom everything seems effortless, and the impossibly embarrassing friend you're nice to when your cool friends can't see. It's about that twenty-seven-year-old man who flirts with you when he sells your dad your overpriced birthday stereo - except he actually calls. And it's about what happens after.
At first, I had no problem with getting into this story. This is not your typical coming of age story. It's about a 14/15 year old girl, who is dealing with family conflict, peer pressure, sexuality...BUT, while on this journey through teendom, she becomes involved with a 31 year old man. She does not keep this relationship a secret, here parents tolerate it...IT's A BIZARRE STORY. Then ending left me flat. There's all this building and you expect something big to happen and then the ending is just there. It's a good book.
