Sean Griswold’s Head, by Lindsey Leavitt Pros: Easy-going contemporary about Payton Gritas, high school freshman, dealing with her father’s serious illness as well as her first real interest in romance. I liked her lists. Sean is a nice, easy-going love interest. Not overly protective or bossy or offensive in any way. Did I mention that it’s easy-going? Cons: Sean is so nice and calm and low-key that I found him borderline unbelievable. Although I often agreed with her opinion/reasoning, I disliked Payton’s best friend intensely. Enjoyable enough, but nothing about this book ever *popped*. I finished it a day ago, and the details are already eluding me. Which is never a good sign.
