 The Lighter Side of Life and Death by C. K. Kelly Martin

Amazon.com description: 
Sixteen-year-old Mason Rice is having the night of his life. He's just delivered an incredible performance in the school play, basked in celebratory afterglow vibes at the party of the year, and lost his virginity to one of his best friends—the gorgeous but previously unobtainable Kat Medina. His dreams are coming true, and the future looks golden.

Unfortunately, Kat sees things very differently. Crossing the friendship line was a big mistake, and all she wants is to forget it and move on, even if that means forgetting Mason altogether. What's a guy to do? Well, if you're Mason, you hang your hopes on the first attractive twenty-three-year-old you cross paths with. At first Mason wonders if he's imagining the chemistry . . . until Colette invites him over to her apartment. Suddenly Mason's living in a whole new world.


My thoughts:
I really enjoyed C. K. Kelly Martin's first book, I Know It's Over. I liked how she was able to tackle a difficult subject and look at it from a different point of view. I really like the premise of this one. The weirdness that can happen when friends try to take their relationship to a new level, and the fallout that can result or the bad decisions people can make when it doesn't work out the way it was supposed to. I'm really excited to get this one, and hopefully I can get my hands on her other book, One Lonely Degree, in the meantime.   

This book is released on May 25, 2010. You can pre-order this book here.
