In the novel “Jailbait” written by Leslea Neman is about the teen violence. The narrator developed the protagonist, Andrea Robin Kaplan, in the term of a teenage point of view. It provides the readers more empathy the teenager’s behaviour. Leslea Neman done an awesome piece of writing. The significant theme of it linked to the idea that the teenager pays more attention on the boy over on the school’s life.

However, one day, as she meets the man, Frank, who is a lot older. He makes Andi feel beautiful and special. Also, Andi is the girl that is trying to find herself and be happy with someone else, so he starts talking to a man. She feels very special and satisfying.

I enjoyed how the book was written. I liked how the narrator makes me wonder how girls can be attracted to men that they do not even know. In my opinion, some point of this novel is very interesting but some points are too disturbing by the sexual teenage. The narrator provide the consideration point to the teenagers that the relationship between the boys and the girls do not important as much as the relationship between friends. In the Jailbait, Andi’s friends always ask her about her life and even consider her life more than her boyfriend. This makes me think about some people do not care about their friends, but when they get in trouble, friends are always there. Friends always talk to you, hug you, and make you do not feel lonely, whereas, the relationship of boys and girls can break up whenever two people are not understand or just feel bored with each
