Jenna Kassarian strives to have everything in her life exactly how she wants it--perfect. She has the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend, and the perfect grades that got her into the top college of her choice. Jenna enjoys working hard because, in the end, it actually pays off. Now that everything seems to be going her way, and it's her last year of high school, all she wants to do, well, actually all her boyfriend wants her to do, is relax and enjoy life. Unfortunately for Jenna, relaxing just isn't in her vocabulary. So now Jenna is trying her best to let go and have fun. That's not at all possible if what she has worked for has started to change. Her best friend is beginning to act weird and her boyfriend is pressuring her even more for their "first time". Along with that, it seems like her best friend is keeping something from her, something that just might have to do with Jenna's boyfriend. But all Jenna needs to do is fix the problems around her. Change everything back to the way things were before. Easy, right? Well, when Jenna finally decides to let loose for once, things start to tumble around her and the people that she thought she knew turn out to be her downfall. Different from all her other works, Niki Burnham's novel STICKY FINGERS has a message that the reader won't know about until the very end. STICKY FINGERS is a novel that everyone should read and take into consideration. Even though the novel is fictional, the ending is the truth and could happen to anyone.

Awsome Book

This book was great. It wasn't anything like I thought it would be. It is about a srong, smart girl that has the perfect boyfriend and the perfect friend. But everything starts to change, she thinks her friend is stealing and lying, her boyfriend is pushing for sex. She starts to doubt herself. And she can't seem to relax, even though she got into Harvard. You have to read this book. It was a wonderful book and I read it in 2 days.

Sticky Fingers

I've read some of Niki Burnham's other books, but this one was by far the best. It has everything a good story should have. The characters were relatable and the plot kept me guessing. I recommend this book to mature 13 and up, because the book dealt alot with the pressures that high schoolers experience. I read this book in a few hrs. This novel is great- so definitely read it!
