Before the summer ends and an Ivy League school takes her East, the virginal and somewhat confused Andrea hopes to achieve sexual satisfaction. She chooses Kevin (Channon Roe), but the encounter isn't quite what she was expecting, perhaps because she's more attracted to rocker Todd Sparrow (Sean Patrick Flanery). Absorbing advice from her friend Rebecca (Summer Phoenix), she plots a course of action and drops Kevin. After she succeeds in linking with her one-and-only, it's not long before she's disappointed to find that Sparrow has flown the coop.

    I suppose the movie is not technically that great, but I loved the book, so I did kind of like this.

    I couldn't explain this tradgic love story, that was almost getting intriguing, but suddenly crashed and fell of the stage head first, but landed on it's ass.

    Skip this one, although at $3, I Got what I paid for, Didn't I?

    If you've seen as many 90s lifetime movies as I have, I guarantee you've seen this too.

    File this under "I didn't change the channel after 'Unsolved Mysteries' ended"

    So love this movie...Sean Patrick Flanery at his finest. One of the best coming of age movies in my opinion. How one girl's life as a groupie leads her to self discovery.
