Relation Supposing Books The Wind Blows Backward

I'm giving this five stars, not for how I might read it now, but for how I read it in sixth grade.

Spencer? SWOON. Like, five-stars swoonerific. Be still my eleven-year-old heart.

Seeing this book also makes me think I need to start laying off making fun of the Twilight tweens. As far as obsessive, co-dependent love goes, Stephanie Meyer's characters pale (hahaha, pun) in comparison. But seeing this book makes me realize that I did indeed find that terribly romantic when I was a tween, so I need to stop being so crotchety about these things.

Plot is simple: moody, swoonerific bad-boy track star Spencer falls in love with shy, insecure, bookish Lauren. (SWOON) Spencer rescues Lauren from bullying classmates. (SWOON) Lauren rescues Spencer from his darker side. (SWOON) And they have sex. Lots and lots of sex. (TRIPLE SWOON) I think this might have been my first sex scene. Aw. If you don't count Flowers in the Attic. And honestly, no one should count Flowers in the Attic.

I honestly can't say what it would be like reading this book as an adult. But I'm swooning just thinking about it.

Did I mention there's sex????

*Update* Having now re-read this book for the first time since I was eleven, all I can think is WHAT kind of morose, twisted eleven year old was I to think this was romantic??? DEAR GOD. I'm standing by my rating, because I remembered it as a 5-star book, but dear God. DEAR GOD. Twilight looks positively healthy next to this.

Notice Of Books The Wind Blows Backward

There isn't anything that I can add that hasn't already been said time and time again in almost every review. I read this book in junior high, renting it from the library so many times that I convinced the librarian that I lost it just so I could pay to keep it! And I still own that copy - and another "just in case."

I was, like, 14 when I read this book. It's not for 14-year-olds. Mary Downing Hahn should stick to kids books. I remember thinking when I read this that it was really dirty. Looking back, it may not have been that dirty. But the main characters where, like, 17 and sexually active... but it was okay because they were totally in love. riiiiiight. Also, I remember that he carried a condom around in his pocket and I thought that was weird. ALSO, if I'd read this when I'd been volunteering at the

The Wind Blows Backward, by Mary Downing Hahn, is about a girl named Lauren and a boy named Spencer who fall in two very different social classes. Lauren and Spencer used to be best friends until Spencer became popular their freshman year and changed completely. He became the Prince of the Jocks and stopped talking to Lauren. It wasnt until their senior year when they bumped into each other, that Spencer wanted her in his life again. It turned out that Spencers life wasnt really as perfect and

This book was an eye opening book to me. I can't explain why exactly, but I know that when I read this after renting it from the library I was so engrossed that I waited until the library put it in the book sale they were having and I bought it. I was meant to read and own this book. I read it at least 5 or 6 times in the few years following my original read in high school. I could not believe the freedom the girl received and the fact that they both put themselves out on a limb for each other.

I love this book just as much as I love "The Raging Quiet"by Sherryl Jordan! The characters felt so real that I could almost touch them and the imagery was beautiful with the way the author wrote her words so vividly. This book is now one of my favorites, I definitely added to my favorite collection. And more thing: Spencer were art thou? Seriously! Even with his moody and mess of life I still greatly cared for him, but of course I am glad that he has Lauren to accompany him in his dark, passive

To a teenage-girl obsessed with HEAs, there was nothing more appealing than Spencer. I read this book every week for a solid year. And then it was taken away by a teacher and I never got it back.

Honestly the only thing I can say is this is, and always will be, my favorite book. I can never get pass the beauty and ingenuity of this book. This book is the equivalent of a gateway drug introducing me to my new life, obsession, and passion.
