I’m not usually a fan of YA/NA type stuff but I loved this.
A grumpy British teen in an American school having to work with the friendly, American cheer leader in class – was actually fun to read. Mind you – I don’t remember being as emotionally mature and communicative at their age. My wife will probably tell you I still have not achieved it.
There are of course miscommunications – but they figure them out and discuss them – as they understand that they are not experienced in life and need to figure out stuff.
Modern parenting would not have suited me as a teenager – I would have died on the spot if my parents had needed to take my sister out for ice cream at 11pm!
In short, I loved this book, it kept me engaged, made me laugh and it is the beginning of a new series – so there will be more.
