My review of Larson's excellent book: http://sofia-perez.com/?p=2374

Maybe it's because sexting (although in This Beautiful Life, it deals with a video sent via email) has been in YA novels for a while, and because there was even a YA nonfiction book about a private school that turned out to have tons of problems, or because Anita Shereve's Testimony was, at least for me, a far more nuanced look at the whole issue of young girls/older boys and sex, but This Beautiful Life (which I was so excited for) wasn't the revelation I hoped it would be. I do think that Schulman's portrait of a wealthy family falling apart is well done, and I was fascinated by Jake, but I think Shreve's Testimony is a much more compelling book about how one moment can really and truly change everything.
