This book was categorised as YA (Young Adult) and although I thought the general themes of the book was suitable for YA, I personally thought some of the sexual descriptions in the book were aimed at a higher age group. That aside, the two main characters – Mark and Evangeline - were likable, although naming the other main male character Janine, took a little getting used to as Janine is purely a girl’s name in the UK!

I liked the way the story developed between Mark and Evangeline, and how the issues of parental and sibling approval and self-respect were sensitively handled.

It was easy to see where the story was eventually going to go, but I like the way that the author took us to the end and how we deviated off what could have been a straight path with a couple of twists and turns.

The story was a gentle romance that left me feeling good about the world and overall it was a pleasant way to spend a few hours. This was the first book I’ve read by Misty Wright, but I’ll be on the lookout for other books by her.
