Romance
When River's all-girls' school joins up with the local boys' school for a performance of Romeo and Juliet, River auditions for a part and finds herself smitten by Flynn, the boy playing Romeo. River believes in romantic love, and she can't wait to experience it, but there's something about Flynn River can't quite work out, and as they spend more time together, she finds she's still a long way from understanding - or trusting - him. A roller-coaster story of first love and all the ups and downs that entails.
"Gripping romance... a really intense read, recommended."
"Complex, romantic and heartwrenching."
