I should start this by saying I am a HUGE fan of Kate Brian. I've read a majority of the books she has written. I'm usually very impressed with her writing and how she can make a seemingly predictable teen/YA novel turn into something more. I feel that Sweet 16 was no exception to that.
Sweet 16 is about a spoiled girl throwing her Sweet 16 birthday party, and starts out by showing you what a spoiled brat she really is. The story goes on to talk about her party until the main character (Teagan) falls down a flight of stairs. The story goes on in a Christmas Carol-like quality, teaching Teagan lessons about who she is and how her decisions affect her future and those around her. There were a few unpredictable twists that kept the story interesting.
The way Teagan's character was developed was mostly believable, and even though you hated her at times you could still relate to her. The family dynamic that was established made you sympathize with the characters, and I found it to be a good addition to the main storyline.
This book was another hit for Kate Brian. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars (the only reason I didn't give it 5 is because I have seen some others by Kate Brian that were even better than this one). Another quick read, but definitely worth it.
