A perfect teen holiday read, set on the clubbers’ paradise island.
“I wrapped my arms lightly around his waist – he felt warm and firm and I could feel his chest moving up and down beneath his white T-shirt. Being that close to him gave me a strange, tingling feeling in my stomach like a thousand butterflies trying to escape. And it felt good. Weird maybe, but definitely good.”
Sixteen-year-old Izzy is on holiday in Ibiza with her glamorous older sister, Ellie and Ellie’s equally glamorous friends. When she attracts the attention of gorgeous DJ Rex, Izzy is flattered and pretends to be older than she is. But as their relationship deepens, her lies make life more difficult than she ever imagined. Will the truth strengthen their love, or tear it apart?
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Just the right amount of hedonism, glamour and beautiful sunsets to transport the reader … a perfect holiday read.” — My Favourite Books blog
“An ideal holiday read.” — Mizz magazine
“A great summer beach book … has everything a teen would want: glamour, love, and of course, heartbreak … A life lesson for all teens, this chatty book explores the theme of pretending to be older and the trouble that can lead to. Young readers will identify with the book’s main character whose lies lead her into heart-beatingly tough situations. Having written for teenage magazines and contributed to newspapers and websites, as well as being a mum herself, Anna-Louise is perfectly placed to understand teenage angst and the desire to put on years which later they’ll be taking off!” — Janet Tansley, Liverpool Echo, August 2010
