This is a YA lesbian romance. Seventeen-year-old Tabitha
"Tabby" Morton has been forced to move to London thanks to her
father's new job. The worst thing for her is that she had to leave her
girlfriend Amy, far behind. Rebelling against everything, she is out to make
herself and her parents miserable. Wanting nothing more than get out of here
and go back.
Gorgeous Eden Palmer is one of the triumvirate that makes up
the Mean Girls kind of queen bees of the school.
Tabby is struck by Eden immediately. She discovers that
there is more to Eden than the other two bubble heads that she hangs around
with. Seemingly, Eden also seems to be drawn to Tabby. Slowly the girls start
spending more time together, but Eden refuses to acknowledge Tabby in school…leading
to a showdown in school when Tabby is picked on for being a lesbian and Eden
stands by quietly.
There is a good ol’ dramatic coming out end-of-book scene.
Now, the thing is, if one has to read about self-discoveries
and young romance, the book to read is Annie on My Mind. Everything
else pales in comparison. And sadly, comparison is inevitable. The richness of Annie
on My Mind a hard act to follow.
However, stand-alone this is one is not bad.
