Amazing

I read this book and I fell in love with it. The relationship stuff was kind of weird, but I couldn't stop reading. I finished the book in probably no more than 3 hours. I couldn't stop reading after each chapter or two was over like I usually do, it was a real page-turner.

great summer read

A delightful, quick read. Perfect for the beach, or a plane ride! I can't wait for her next book!

It's prom season, and what better way to celebrate than reading PROM CRASHERS? Emily met Ethan while working in the mall. He wrote his digits on a napkin, but her co-worker (Charlie, a good friend) used the napkin without realizing it. So, while Emily finds herself crushing over Ethan, she now has no way to contact him, until she comes up with a plan. Emily wants to crash all the area high school proms with her three best friends. However, it's easier said than done. None of them are going to their respective proms and thus they don't have formal attire. Security at other proms could cause problems, and who knows if they can even find Ethan. They agree to the plan as a way to pass time during the super-boring last months of senior year. Even if they don't find Ethan, it will be an adventure to remember forever. Erin Downing takes a ritual high school event and turns it into something crazy wild and totally fun. The four friends must find ways to sneak around security and handle multiple proms on one night. Be sure to check out the author's MySpace page for a Dancing Queen (Simon Romantic Comedies) playlist, as well, which was the author's previous release. Add PROM CRASHERS to your pile of books to read because it's fabulously fun! Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel

Fun book!

"Prom Crashers" is a total joy that elicited quite a few audible chuckles from me as I immersed myself in the lives of four delightful young adults winding down their senior year of high school. The story provides a brief reminder of the confusing emotions experienced as young adults prepare to end their high school years, part with beloved friends, leave home, and move on with their lives. Yet Downing keeps the focus of the book "in the moment" and "Prom Crashers" is a whole lot of fun. After reading the book, I feel like I've been to prom - ah, to quite a few proms. Downing's genius is that she doesn't map out the entire future of her 18 year-old high school seniors. She allows us to experience a particular time and place in the lives of these young people. And Downing's Duluth fans will enjoy the local references! The main characters in the book demonstrate the exquisite richness of life with friendship, creativity, and a zest for living and adventure. With her contemporary writing style and imaginative plot, it is obvious that Downing has her finger on the pulse of today's youth.

I looooved this book!!!!!!!!

I couldn't put this book down and will read it again. There are some unexpected and great twists in this story. Em and the rest of the characters are so different, so real and so much fun. It's a wonderful, surprising romance that made me laugh out loud (you will too!). My absolute favorite in the series! I hope it's made into a movie.
