Synopsis
They planned on a joyride in a convertible on a hot summer day. They planned on skinny-dipping in a beautiful, secluded lake. They planned on making it back to cheerleading camp before anyone noticed they were gone.
The three girls were seventeen, with perfect tans, perfect bodies, and the perfect day. But then Kristy Sweetland smiled . . . at the wrong time . . . in the wrong place . . . at the wrong boys.
Children's Literature
The wind whipped their hair as they cruised into the gas station where their lives would change forever. Three cheerleaders, Kristy, Kristi, and Desiree, took life for granted as the world to bent to their everyday needs. No one denied their appeal as they showed off their stuff in front of their peers. The summer seemed endless as the week of cheerleading camp created a venue for them to be amongst the elite. Who would have guessed how a simple smile could wreak complete havoc and possibly destroy all their lives? But it did. If only Kristy had not been given that little red Mustang to cruise in that let the whole world know that they were free and able to be seduced. It probably did not help that none of the girls felt rules applied to them and so chose to sneak out of camp to go joyriding. Even though Boy Heaven had an interesting twist at the end that finally made the story come full circle, I felt the use of flashbacks confusing, and they interrupted the flow of the story. This made the text hard to comprehend at times and sometimes made me second-guess the plot. The story could have been simplified and more to the point, which would have rendered the reader speechless during the creative twists and turns of the finale.
