This is a fairly short read with a lot jammed into it.
I reminded myself this was a YA book and to think like a young person. I found that helped me enormously to relate to Stacey and her mindset.
Stacey has a sister who got pregnant at a very young age, life isn’t always easy at home with her sister, her child and her mother.
One day things get tense and Stacey decides she needs some time out. Her plan of where she was heading was to her Fathers Home. She knew her father and stepmother wouldn’t be there, they were away on holiday. She could chill out.
The author gave us some good background and insight to Stacey which was good.
When Harry came into her day he presented a filler, a filler of gaps that Stacey needed at that time.
I’m not going to give away more, however, when Harry was making tentative moves to still remain friends with her, my adult mind was saying WHAT is wrong with you child in even contemplating it. Are you a fool.
But slipping into my young mind I could see how she was confused between him and his brother.
After all, she could possibly make excuses for Harry maybe?
That’s the bit I wish that the author cultivated more to help the reader understand more of what was going on inside Stacey’s Head. She did with her solid friend Patrice and the other characters but not the main one.
That doesn’t mean I won’t read book 2. I’m off to read it now.
