When you finally find out what happened to Jenna, it's sort of. I feel callous saying this, but it just didn't seem trumatic enough. Scenes from Jenna's present life were interspersed with scenes from her past, including a particularly trumatic one that the book centers around. There wasn't enough substance- not much really happened. Together, they must confront their past and their present- and find some way to settle the "unfinished business" (as Jenna's mother calls it) between them.Īs delectable as the cover looks, Sweethearts didn't quite satisfy me. She has never forgotten Cameron Quick, though, and imagine her suprise when he shows up out of the blue one day. Years later, Jennifer has become Jenna, a thin, popular, well-adjusted teen. Then, suddenly Cameron moves away- and Jennifer hears that he has died. They were both outcasts in elementary school- Jennifer the fat girl, Cameron the weird boy. Sweethearts by Sara Zarr is the story of a girl, Jennifer "Jenna" Harris, who once had a friend named Cameron Quick.
