I love a book with a good strong and witty lead female and Delia Steele did not let me down. Rory lives in a Trailer Park and this makes her less than desirable at school. Toby should have been her hero, the handsome popular boy, who liked the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. But right from the part where he wouldn’t stop his truck in the trailer park, only slowed down, and made her jump in did I get a weird vibe about him. Then when he doesn’t stand up for her to his “I’m better than everyone’ mother I decided in my mind he just wasn’t right for someone as smart and strong as Rory! Enter Rome, a hidden hero, I don’t want to give too much away but I LOVED him and was rooting for him for Rory.Rory has been through so much and it feels like her life is a constant uphill struggle. I think Delia Steel did an excellent job of writing a female lead that is different than most out there. It was nice to see the point of view of a girl from the “poor” part of town and for her not to be ashamed of who she is. I loved that she was determined to do more in life but not at the expense of caring for her little brother.This story was interesting and the plot well formulated. I did find my copy to have some formatting and grammatical errors but not so much as that it was distracting from my reading.
