The teen argot style is spot on - don't expect finely crafted, elegant sentences here. Since when did your teenager's diction involve anything such? But it works. It's immediate, it's all in the present, and its simplicity underpins a sympathetic and sophisticated understanding, just as the narrative drive does. I loved it, and I don't think there's a teenage girl that won't. Highly recommended.
My thanks to the good people at Egmont for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Fifteen Minute Bob by Catherine Forde]].
If they like this kind of book, they might also like [[Sea Change by Kate Cann|Sea Change]] by [[:Category:Kate Cann|Kate Cann]] or [[Meet Me At The Boathouse by Suzanne Bugler|Meet Me At The Boathouse]] by [[:Category:Suzanne Bugler|Suzanne Bugler]]. And if they loved this book so much they'd rather find Catherine Forde on the web they can hop on over to her very sexiful [http://www.bebo.co.uk/sugarcoatedthebook/ Bebo page].
