Love Street Book

"Hi, I'm Suze and I've got mega problems. I'm 14, I've got no love life; my best mate, Beth, is a babe who's always moaning, and I'm obsessed with a soap opera that doesn't exist. Can things get any worse?"Suze has excellent legs (she knows this because she heard Robin Usher talking about them behind the bookshelves in the library) but is blighted by a life of freckledom (she knows this because she heard Martin Scott talking about them behind the bookshelves in the library), plus an acute awareness that her puppy fat could creep back at any given moment. She is in true teen turmoil. To top it all she realises that her mental health may also be in the balance; after all, is it really normal to be obsessed with a soap opera that doesn't really exist?Love Street is a testy, jesty romp through the world of a babe-in-waiting as she gets to grips with the unfairness of a world filled with best friends of the perfect teeth/hair/body variety who always get the man, boys whose testosterone levels loop the loop at the touch of a button and the kind of parents who make you want to walk 10 paces behind them on the street in case anyone clocks that they belong to you. With a truck-load of laughs and a bucket-full of truth, Love Streettakes you to the heart of the matter with a wit, style, humour and enthusiasm that will appeal to anyone who has ever had a better-looking friend. Age 11 and over. --Susan HarrisonRead More
