Heath, Cliffs & Wandering Hearts by Laura BarnardMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was given an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review. My actual rating is 3.5 stars.
Heath, Cliff & Wandering Hearts is a coming of age novel that reminded me of Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging.
As mentioned before it has a cute, eye-catching front cover and catchy title but the content unfortunately wasn't for me. I have no doubts that Laura is a talented author and you can't make everyone happy but this YA novel fell a little short for me. There were some laugh out loud moments throughout the book and I actually found myself quite invested in the story line between leading lady "Savannah" and her best friend Heath.
It's cute and funny and definitely more suited to it's "young adult" audience.
Life for sixteen year old Savannah Franks has just been turned upside down. Her Mum’s business has failed and they’re forced to move into a maisonette in the rough end of town.
She doesn’t want anyone to know her dire situation, not even her besties. So when the rest of the money for the school ski trip is due she can’t be seen not to attend. Everyone is going! She just needs to find a job. Add that to the list of getting a boyfriend and losing her pathetic virginity.
But working every spare hour in a job she hates on top of school work and mounting secrets doesn’t prove easy. Soon she’s keeping so many she’s not even sure herself what’s true and what’s not.
The only person she can lean on to tell the truth is her best friend Heath.
Only…did he get hot recently? That won’t make things awkward between them…right?
