How hard can Love by by Holly Bourne






All Amber wants is a little bit of love. Her mum has never been the caring type, even before she moved to California, got remarried and had a personality transplant. But Amber's hoping that spending the summer with her can change all that.

And then there's prom king Kyle, the guy all the girls want. Can he really be interested in anti-cheerleader Amber? Even with best friends Evie and Lottie's advice, there's no escaping the fact: love is hard.


My thoughts 
I did write an extensive review for this last week just after I'd finished it so I had the story in my head. The internet goblins have eaten that review and I've read ten more books since then so this rewrite is going to be shorter.

I loved the relationships between the characters and seeing the different ways in which they played out. I loved the main character completely because she was so relatable. I loved that there were positive girl friendships throughout. I loved the Harry Potter references. I loved that it really explored feminism and what that means to teenage girls now. I loved the setting. I loved the humour. I loved the boys.


In short I adored everything about this book and would recommend to anyone regardless of whether you had read the previous book in the series. I cannot wait for the next one.
