Dream On!

This is an immensely readable book: I devoured it in one sitting. The narrative is pacy and well-written, its central character Charlie ensnared in an obsession with Garth, the school heart-throb - who, of course, is unaware of her existence. The story is wittily paralleled with the school production of Romeo and Juliet, including apposite quotations at appropriate moments. When Garth finally acknowledges her, Charlies sees his shallowness and turns, too late, to a far worthier man who has, by now, fallen in love with her best friend. His loss finally teaches her that there is far more to love than looks. Do I feel a sequel coming on?
