This is the second of my Tales from Aintree Court series. I loved the first and the second did not disappoint. Susan Francis has an ease with words that make you feel you are a part of the story. It is hard not to get attached to certain characters and wish for certain things to happen. The story is told from the position of the male and female which made it all the better. It was so great to get more than one perspective.This story is about being attracted to someone while being in a relationship with someone else. A love triangle that adds a struggle to these teenagers lives. This book also confronts the issue of classism and touches on the `in crowd' vs what the author refers to as the 'out crowd,' which was really well done. Susan Francis' writing is so crisp and natural. Most of the time I felt like I was a teenager again feeling all those raw emotions that had once flooded my young psyche. It brought me back to a more uncertain time in my life."I could see it looked suspicious and I was concerned about what people thought. I was convinced that they would think we were sneaking around and that a rumor would spread, blaming me and labeling me a cheater. I'd seen it happen before: girls at school turning on each other. Cat fights because one girl had supposedly tried to steal another girl's boyfriend, while the boyfriend remained unscathed; the whole thing being played out as entertainment for onlookers."
