Just pretending by Dana Burkey on Amazon.com
This is a sweet YA love story: Cammy fell in love with Nick
the summer before. They were both new to town; Nick holidaying with his father
and Cam just moved there. Neither knew anyone and they bonded. Apart from him
putting an arm around her; nothing else happened. She was heartbroken however
when on going back to school he announced on social media he was now in a
relationship. A year later, Cam has made many friends at her new school,
amongst them Josh. When the summer holidays start Nick rolls back into town
with new girlfriend Gina on his arm. Cam confided in Josh about her heartbreak
and the two devise a plan to make Nick jealous.
The book is an easy and quick read and doesn’t hold any
nasty surprises. It is a lovely coming of age story with a very likeable main
character. I think many young girls will identify with Cam and the pitfalls of
first love. Good YA read that would suit an early teen.
