Nayu's thoughts
As a
fangirl of Jo's Sweet Hearts series I had to read this book. I don't
really know much about Glee, but that didn't prevent me from
understanding the dynamics of the drama group. It is amazing just how
much misunderstanding and miscommunication can effect friendships and
cohesion within a group – I wanted to tell a few of the characters
to stop jumping to conclusions when the facts were staring them in
the face! As frustrating as it was to watch, they all had to make
huge mistakes before they could get themselves together and make the
club's latest project a success. As ever with a Barrington Stoke book
there is a lot of action and emotion packed into this semi-short
read, making it seem just as long as the other novels I read.
Suggested Read
You can guess my suggestion - it's book 1 in the Sweet Hearts series, Star-Crossed (Children's, 9 years +, 10E/10E) I was going to put the cover up, but while searching for a less fuzzy picture than my one I spotted the entire series, which I hope you'll agree looks gorgeous!
