3.5 Stars in my Sky!I hadn't read the other books in Kirsten's First and Last series but I found Bad Girlfriend worked as a standalone (although I kinda wanna go back and read the other couple's stories).Brooke is misunderstood; she's loyal, sweet, beautiful and has no idea about any of this. She lives with her Gran and has an absentee mother. Brooke's history with guys and dating is terrible, so much so, she's not had one remotely successful relationship and is constantly used by men.The new town Head Teacher (our Brit word for Principal) Adam is not only hot, geeky and young, he's also immediately attracted to Brooke and vows to prove her assertion that love doesn't exist wrong. I found them to be a mixture of sweet, hilarious (often unintentionally) and hot but in a naive kinda way.Most of the problems Brooke and Adam face are from malevolent outside forces (conniving ex's, small town gossip, unfair assumptions etc) but a few are down to Brooke's accepted position in their small town. I like Brooke and would seriously reconsider ever moving to a small town if that's the sort of thing you have to face. Adam is charming and determined; I liked how he goes all out to protect her and follow her 'dating rules'.I would have liked to see their relationship develop a bit more and to find out what happened to certain ex's and local busybodies.
