Another one about the mighty highs ‘n’ lows of an angsty teenager. The second in the Cinnamon Girl series, the book carries on India Jane’s travails as she starts off a new year in a new school. Plagued by first-day woes, she wonders whether she will fit in...make friends…and hopefully get things moving with Joe Donahue (…the boy she met on her last holiday in Greece). But the path to fitting-in never runs smooth. With all the cliques and pre-formed groups……India finds herself floundering, putting her foot-in on more than one occasion…and watching her social life go slowly and steadily down the drain.
While the book is nothing out of the ordinary…it’s charm lies in the fact that India is a feisty teenager. She’s confident and witty and is someone who would come out fighting in any given situation. Her occasional rants are restricted to her chat sessions with her best buddy from her last school in Ireland…Erin. Erin is her smart-talking anchor. It's a good friendship which sparkles with wisecracks and tough-love. Something we all needed back in the good ol' days(......well, even now!!)
A light, lie-on-the-beach kind of read. Enjoyable.

Nice book review (you should totally set up an Amazon affiliate account so you could earn a little $$$$). :-)
And, thanks for the link in the sidebar (Michele L. Tune <---- that's me!). I appreciate it. I actually set up Google Alerts so I'm notified via email when someone posts my name somewhere on the web.
