Agree that it can be annoying that so many teenagers in YA fiction are unsupervised. Would love to see a story with involved parents. Would certainly be unique!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915650377670190252.post-73082335337174358592010-01-11T15:02:33.776-05:002010-01-11T15:02:33.776-05:00I'm so behind on my reviews that I've actu...I'm so behind on my reviews that I've actually finished Fade. I just read Shiver too, which was what kinda set my ire on the topic. My poor kid will be feeling the fallout of these themes as I smother her with attention through her teen years, lol, (fortunately, I have a while to get there). I have to keep reminding myself of the target audience...Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859073970689240250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915650377670190252.post-80748556685600500352010-01-11T14:49:37.231-05:002010-01-11T14:49:37.231-05:00Right there with you on your thoughts.

It really is a recurring thing about parents. Thanks for pointing that out, I just read Shiver, Wake and now Ice and the themes are the same, screwed up or distracted parenting, or even worse, orphaned etc. Must make for easier story to tell.ParaJunkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874529185180873346noreply@blogger.com
