Excellent!!

I must admit I was really surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this book. I had never read anything like this before. I was really able to identify with the characters because I just finished my first year of college. And thats what I liked most cause I could understand where they going through. I loved the characters. Its seems as it was just going to be about Kelly but it wasn't it turned into a story about three completely different girls learning about eachoher and who they really are. This book excellent and I can't wait to read Spanish Holiday! I hope its just as good as this one.

I love love love kate cann...

When Kelly and her lover Mike have a spat about how to spend their gap year, they nearly break up before Kelly convinces him to take off on the van trip around Europe he planned with his friends before they met. Kelly accepts an invitation to share an antique farmhouse in Greece with two acquaintance schoolmates so different they almost make up one complete person - while Sexy Jade exudes confidence as a man-hunting party girl who doesn't deign to lift a finger to do the dishes while, sweetly shy Sarah suffers from depression and swings of domesticity. Poor Kelly struggles to keep the peace between the two old friends while regaining the identity lost in her intense relationship with Mike. Unfortunately, the delicate balance is upset when Jade comes upon Mike and his van full of buddies, and invites them for a visit. Comic trouble ensues.Cann writes with deep honesty about friendship and love, and her portrayal of sex is gut clenchingly real. Highly recommended.

Yes, this is another one of those teen-beach reads that you can consume like candy. But this one is tasty, and quite juicy! The author takes you on a ride with some friends that take a holiday to Greece and have a rambunctious time. If you love to read books on the beach, this one will fit the bill for a cheap date!
