Two-Way Street Review

Two-Way Street By Lauren Barnholdt

Courtney and Jordan are about to begin a three day trip from their homes in Florida to their college orientation in Boston. But they are not going to have a good time, because two weeks ago, Jordan broke up with Courtney, because he met a girl on MySpace. Courtney doesn´t want to take the trip with Jordan, but her parents makes her go. Now she is on a trip with her ex that goes wrong in so many ways, But there are secrets Jordan has been keeping and those secrets are the reason he broke up. So those are bound to come out eigther through their friends, family or some other way. Because in the end Courtney and Jordan are bound to be together.

A really good, fast, easy and full of drama and teenage problems book, which i absolutly loved. I would so watch it if i would be made into a movie. And besides the book could be a really good young adult movie. I just think the book was sweet and a really good read.
As for the books writing style, the chapters in the book are shared, so Courtney and Jordan each tell there version of the story before, during, and after the trip. This gives the reader and in-sight in both there feeling and other stuff.
So, as for the characters: My first thought i had when Courtney´s Dad first is mention is: That there is something weird about him, and like: Is he having an affair?? And it was the same thing i was feeling when Jordan´s mom was mentioned, so you put two and two together, and AHA.
As for Courtney, i really liked her character especially because i can totally relate to her, because i am all the same things that she is like: organize, thinks about things a lot, likes country music etc. But Jordan is total opposite Courtney, he is laid back, like what he call "Hard Core Rap" and takes thing one at a time.
They both has friends that are only a phone call away and these friends are ready to help anytime.
The book reference a lot to Myspace, so it has a big play in the book.
A book worth reading if you like to read cute but not easy love stories between teenagers. Would totaly recommend it!
