About the Author
Born in 1950's Manchester, England, Cathy Hopkins moved to Kenya with her family at the age of 5. The Hopkins family remained in Kenya for six years before returning to England in 1964. In her youth, Cathy attended six different schools and that consistent change foreshadowed her career choices. mostrar mais Before becoming a full time writer, Hopkins held down a wide variety of jobs ranging from rock singer to occupational therapist to aromatherapist. Her career in writing started with books of the non-fiction genre that involved aromatherapy and relationships. She was later commissioned to write books for a young adult audience which she now focuses on strictly. She currently resides in Northern England with her husband, Steve and their three cats. mostrar menos

Quick Review:
This is a great YA teen romance to spice up your TBR! It's really amusing jumping back into early 2000s YA novels, and it's quite the treat for me. It's definitely different reading them as an adult rather than as a teen, and I'm not sure if they hold up with the times but I still enjoyed them! It's all about falling in love and chasing the boy of your dreams for the very first time... With a catchy title!

A blurb shouldn't spoil a story, but when unconfirmed uncertainty is all that is on offer and is mentioned specifically and unnecessarily right there...
The writing is good and well-observed, but for me it doesn't go anywhere other than to a rather easy (I'm tempted to say cheap or trite) twist that could so easily have been more effective with more grounding and a better run up.
I thought the performance was pretty great and absolutely cannot understand the disparaging comments in another review.
Ultimately, as a free short story on Audible, it is decent enough, but it feels lacking a certain something to actually elevate it, whether that could be more of a commentary on racist assumptions, family dynamics, and/ or the nightmare of health care.… (mais)
