Soon after they first moved away from Orchard Hills Ally’s father abandoned the family and they’ve no idea where he is. Ally’s Mum is ready to start dating again, but Ally hasn’t quite moved on that far. She’s got far too many demons of her own to deal with and none of he problems are of her making – or are they?
It’s a good story, tld told alternately from Ally ad and Jake's point of view with characters you’re really going to enjoy. I loved Ally with her down-to-earth common sense and determination to make the most of what she has. She’s not a moaner -0 and you could forgive her if she was. When you finish the book you’ll find yourself wondering how she’s doing – and I suspect that we’ll be hearing more from Orchard Hills in the future as the book doesn’t exactly end leaving you feeling unsatisfied but it is a little bit of a cliff-hanger and you’re going to want to know what happens next.
It’s a good summer (or holiday) read from the author you probably know best as [[:Category:Kate Brian|Kate Brian]] who has given us the [[Private by Kate Brian|Private]] series. I’d like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
It’s a great book for the early teens and for more in a similar vein try [[Million Dollar Mates by Cathy Hopkins]] or [[My Life on TV by Kimberly Greene]].
