The protagonists of this delightful, young-adult, romantic comedy, Xander Bowen and Holly Aberdeen, are both 17 years old. They live in in Adelaide, the capital city of the state of South Australia, and they attend a secondary school called Maple Ridge Grammar. They are in Year Twelve (the equivalent of 12th grade or senior year in high school in the USA).After a weekend of peptalks and rehearsals with Nancy Milligan, Holly's best friend for the past five years, Nancy has convinced Holly it is way past time that she proclaim her true feelings to Jason Thomas (AKA "JT"). Jason is Holly's long-time crush and best friend of ten years' duration, and Nancy has assured Holly that she is positive that Jason will reciprocate her feelings. But when Holly approaches Jason at school, bright and early Monday morning, she is stunned to encounter him hugging and kissing Nancy. Her sense of betrayal is overwhelming. Not only is she apparently the last one at school to find out that her two best friends are now a couple, but they have been together since early last weekend--a full day before Nancy began encouraging Holly to approach Jason! The sneer on Nancy's face when she catches Holly's eye makes it obvious that Nancy's intent was to cruelly set Holly up for public humiliation, basically sticking in the knife and then giving it a twist.Desperately blinking away tears, Holly pushes her way through the crowded, school halls, blindly seeking a place to be alone and cry her eyes out. When she randomly shoves open a door and plows into a half-naked, very buff male body, she suddenly realizes she's alone in the boy's locker room with none other than the "King of the Bows" AKA "King Douche." Xander Bowen is the star striker for the soccer team, and one of the two most gorgeous and popular boys at her school--Jason being the other. Each leads a clique of attractive and popular followers. Xander's followers call Jason's friends, "JT's minions," and Jason's followers call Xander's, the "Bows," The two boys are bitter enemies and, in fact, for many years, out of loyalty to Jason, Holly has taken it as a given that Xander is a worthless "manwhore" and everyone in his clique is a horrible human being as well.Holly is understandably surprised and suspicious when Xander suggests that if they pretend they are dating, both of them could achieve mutually beneficial ends. Xander is tired of girls throwing themselves at him, wasting time he needs to dedicate to soccer and his studies; Holly's pride could be saved and a mild retribution achieved by making Jason jealous, and Xander would definitely enjoy helping her stick it to that "git," Jason.At first Holly has no intention of taking up Xander on such an outrageous offer, but when Nancy brazenly taunts Holly one too many times at school, right in front of Jason, and he makes zero effort to stand up for her, Holly has had it! Revenge, even if it's the rather doubtful possibility of making Jason jealous, is too inviting to resist. And so begins the agreement that she and Xander will be indefinitely "Keeping up Appearances" that they are a couple who are mad about each other.I am a huge fan of romantic comedy novels, and sadly, there are far too few of them written for either adults or teenagers. This YA novel is a brilliant example of rom com, and the author, Elizabeth Stevens, is highly skilled at creating the best kind of comedy, based on witty repartee rather than the humiliation humor of slapstick. She also is outstanding at writing romance, utilizing the very best themes of a long tradition within adult romance novels, including: a terrific Meet Cute, no cheating, the essential romantic conflict of distrust slowly evolving to trust, a powerful personal-growth arc of both protagonists, and a happily ever after (HEA). Holly and Xander are both extremely sympathetic characters, and so are many of the subcharacters among Xander's close friends, the Bows.As a brief parental warning, I would rate this story PG-13 because there is a lot of frank talk between Xander and Holly, with a bit of semi-coarse language and multiple somewhat risqué discussions of teen-male sexual attitudes and behavior. However, there is no more sensuality between the protagonists than a few kisses. If this were an adult romance novel with sex, I would call this a "slow burn" story, because it takes most of the book before they engage in the G-rated version of sex, kissing. Also, refreshingly for the YA genre, though there is mention of underage drinking, there is none onstage.My only mild complaint is that it is not entirely clear what the geographic location of the story is, other than the use of British slang, until halfway through when the author finally mentions Adelaide. It would be nice if there had been more attention to setting by providing a bit of local color.I rate this book as follows:Heroine: 4 starsHero: 5 starsSubcharacters: 5 starsRomance Plot: 5 starsComedy: 5 starsWriting: 5 starsOverall: 5 stars
Cute, predictable YA story. Had it been better written, I would have loved it. But the writing was bad in all kinds of cliched romance-novel ways. And the author needs to learn how to paint a picture with words. All the characters did was talk or think or kiss in giant vacuums or open space.The heroine was so goregous that every guy falls all over himself for her, but she's unaware of this until the love interest tells her (He's got a bad boy reputation but is really the perfect prince charming inside). The heroine is also entirely self-centered. She never even notices that other people have lives/interests/problems. Although really the problem is bigger than this. None of the other characters actually have lives/interests/problems outside of their interactions with the heroine.The characterization was so bad that at the end of the book, I still couldn't remember who was who. Every character had a bland 1990s (US 1990s) name: Rachel, Miranda, Joshua, Teagan, Greg, Nancy, Holly, Daniel, Sabrina, Jess, Britt, Kate, Tara, Xander (and the heroine's cutsy nickname is Doll. Ugh). None of the secondary characters are given any description at all. The heroine is given a hair/eye color. The love interest is given a hot body and eye color. No one else gets anything else (including clothing... clothing can tell so much about a person). There's no descriptors at all and I never got a feel for anybody. They were just walking-talking lumps of unformed clay. (The sole exception to this was the love interests eyes which were endlessly described as 'cognac eyes.' Seriously...? How many 17 year-old girls actually know what cognac is, let alone can picture it?)The world was the same. I have no idea where on the planet this story even happened. They are in 'High School', which says US to me, but then there are all kinds of oddities that say otherwise.(boot instead of trunk, oval instead of... field?, but it did use soccer instead of football... so...). I finally googled the author and she lives in NewZealand. So perhaps there? If yes, what a waste as I would have loved to have had the story have a New Zealand feel, which it definitely did not. Of course, my friends from New Zealand are Maori or of other Pacific Islander background and I can't imagine that any of these middle-class (probably white but never stated) characters are Maori/Islanders. I finished the book still not being able to visualize a single thing about the school, the heroine's house, or the city they live in. Not a single thing.And the typos... 'To close' vs 'too close.' Endless misspelled words. Seriously, was this book even edited? (and I am not a grammar queen. I don't usually even notice this stuff.)The teens are descriptively lustful. So much so that I told the younger teens in the house not to read it as they would be horrified. I mean serious, do the heroine and love intersest have to talk about the love interest's 'p#$%s' so much?I wouldn't recommend this one and I am unlikely to get another from this author.
This book I'll admit had hardly any character development, but as I kept reading found the plot and drama to be very entertaining and just what I needed a teen drama book and that's exactly what I got. However the farther I got into the story more friendship and loyalty started in the book and in the end aside from the drama and relationships/romance there was depth to the friendships and if your a middle school-er/high school age this is good for that age group. as an adult I had to keep reminding myself it was a teen book and that was all but it had good points to the story even if it could of been shorter however I liked that there was more to it because if you read the whole thing in the right mind set you will know it was necessary in the plot and meaning of the book. So give it a shot for what its worth. I really enjoyed it and kept me well entertained at work when it was slow ;)(this review wasn't well planned out as I didn't plan to review it properly.)
Every HS story has to be complete with love, friendship, betrayal, heartbreak and a hero/heroine that makes you believe in the power of raw emotions all over again. In this case we have both a hero and heroine that break your heart as much as they make it swell. A brave girl that dared to go against the herd and stuck to who she was above what others wanted her to be and a guy that made no apologies for wanting her regardless of who was believed to be by everyone. I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. The chemistry between them was off the charts and their relationship wasn't built overnight, it had depth and proper development.
