It is at this point in the story that Jane figures out who tried killed her boyfriend and attempted to end her life as well. He was such a jerk and a boring character that I almost forgot to mention this part of the story.Jane makes it out of the cabin alive after leaving poor Sharon to die.

Her plans to hide out and reveal that she is in fact alive in a few days are thwarted when someone comes to the cabin and tries to kill her! I should also mention that Jane discovers while watching the news that her boyfriend died during her rescue attempt. After faking her death Jane hides out in a cabin in the woods. Once they are a mile or so out, Jane picks a fight with some idiots and falls overboard. Ok so I’m only saying that her friend is awesome because her name is Sharon but, come on people everyone knows Sharon’s are great! Jane is going on a boat trip with some friends and before they leave she hid some scuba equipment underneath the boat. Jane tells her awesome friend Sharon about her plans. Jane is so embarrassed that naturally she feels she only has one option, to fake her death and blame on the people who caused this humiliation to occur. The next day the entire school is walking around with a page of poor Jane’s diary. You never ever mess with the cat people…ok?So where was I? Oh yes, Jane attacks a poor innocent kitteh and her friends Sharon and forgothername come over and read her diary. Jane spots a cat outside trying to eat her pet bunny so she runs outside and throws a rock at the poor kittehs head! GRRRRR!!! At this point in the story I was ready to jump into the book and beat Jane to a bloody pulp.

The reason that she left her diary sitting open on her desk did not win cool points with me.

Anyone who writes this kind of diary and leaves is sitting around is asking my trouble in my opinion. Which one is Jane again? Oh she is the protagonist…right! Jane has a fake diary where she makes up steamy stories about her boyfriend (uh crap forgot his name now too). I was able to finish reading it, but just barely.It is never a good sign when you start getting characters mixed up and that is what happened to me. Gimme a Kiss falls somewhere in between the other two. One of them was pretty darn good, the other was so awful that I couldn’t finish it, and then there is this one. Did I really have such horrible taste in books back in my teen years? I’ve attempted to reread three Christopher Pike books and finished only two.
