It was an easy read, grabbed you from the very beginning and held on. I would love to see more from this world. The characters were super fun ( ) Although I question the ease with which a black kid from a sketchy neighborhood seemed to fit into a wealthy suburban neighborhood, I found the book a vey enjoyable coming of age story. Tyson Trice is almost killed when his father murders his mom and then turns the gun on himself. When Trice’s grandfather dies, Trice goes to live with a black family in a wealthy California neighborhood. The family know Trice because he would come when his grandfather mowed their lawn. Trice and Nandy, the young girl in the family were close friends when they were preschoolers. There’s lots of teenage angst and romance. I am impressed that the author was able to create individual personalities for all of the characters when it would be so easy to make cookie cutter personalities for the high school kids. There’s plenty of “well, we didn’t do that when I was a kid” moments for me, I found the kids could all use their brains well. And the girls weren’t necessarily pushovers for the boyfriends in their lives. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"When Tyson Trice finds himself tossed into the wealthy coastal community of Pacific Hills, he's ready for the questions, the stares and the feeling of not belonging. Not that he cares. After recovering from being shot and surviving the rough streets of Lindenwood, he doesn't care about anyone or anything, much less how the rest of his life will play out. Golden girl Nandy Smith has spent most of her life building the pristine image that it takes to fit in when it comes to her hometown Pacific Hills where image is everything. After learning that her parents are taking in a troubled teen boy, Nandy fears her summer plans, as well as her reputation, will go up in flames. Now with Trice living under the same roof, the wall between their bedrooms feels as thin as the line between love and hate. Beneath the angst, their growing attraction won't be denied. Through time, Trice brings Nandy out of her shell, and Nandy attempts to melt the ice that's taken Trice's heart and being. Only, with the ever-present pull back to the Lindenwood streets, it'll be a wonder if Trice makes it through this summer at all"--Amazon.com. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
