Not every love story has a happy ending. A gripping teen drama from Chris Higgins.
His smile faded and our eyes held and that's when it happened. A charge passed through me, like an electric shock.
Anna meets Jem when her life is falling apart. He is everything Anna needs him to be. Her dad may have run off with a younger woman, her mum may be a wreck and her younger sister, Livi, is swerving off the rails - but as long as she has Jem, Anna will be OK.
And for the first time in her life Anna falls. Deeply and truly and intensely in love.
The end Not quite...

This is another great novel by Chris Higgins ... The story moves at a fast pace and is full of drama that always keeps you turning the pages. - Chicklish

This story captured my interest from the beginning and I was thrilled that it got better and better as I read. The author packs a great deal into this average-length teen book and every page had me wanting a little bit more. The characters in the story are superb: well fleshed out, with authentic voices for their age (and nationality). - The Book Bag
