Sweetness. Fun. More sweetness. Slapstick. Light. Young. Parent
drama. All round feel good.
Posh girl Abby Granger is lured into stealing an exam paper by
her flatmate Lacey Kent. Timid Abby is full-on in lust for Lacey and somehow
finds herself creeping along to steal. And they get caught. Except that Lacey
breaks the window and makes a run for it. As a parting shot Lacey tells Abby
not to mention that she (Lacey) as there too or she’d out Abby to her parents. So
Abby finds herself doing 200 hours of community service. Hot Lola Morgan comes
from the other side of the tracks and has her own issues to deal with. When the
social worker in charge, Julie starts picking on Abby, despite herself, Lola
finds herself standing up of the scared Abby. Their relationship slowly
develops during their ‘sentence’.
Abby and Lola are both such likeable people. Surprisingly,
though this is a light book, the author explores the personalities of the MCs
explaining why they are the way they are quite thoroughly. This makes us
understand and empathise with both of them quite effectively. The attraction and
chemistry between the MCs is palpable and the romance is so, so sweet.
Definitely, definitely recommended.
