If relationship difficulties and adolescent angst is what you go on holiday to leave behind, fear not. ''This Is Not A Love Story'' is not an emotionally gruelling read – much less so than Keren David's excellent previous book [[Salvage by Keren David|Salvage]]. It's readable, it's pleasurable and if there is a tiny bit too much tying up of plot-ends in the final chapter – well you don't want to leave unpleasantness behind when you've been on such an attractive escape.
I'd certainly recommend [[Salvage by Keren David]] and, whilst in Amsterdam with Jewish teenagers it would be inexcusable not to have read, or at least thought about, [[''The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank]]''.
