Alice and Jewel have been friends for years and they don't hang out much with other people. They are both artsy although Jewel is the better artist and go to galleries and drink coffee together. Alice has never really thought of Jewel as anything more than her friend so when he becomes a little possessive and kisses her she's a little confused. Then we add in Simon a new guy who plays football and asks Alice out the same day Jewel kisses her. Alice feels like she can't turn down Simon and starts dating him. She and Jewel drift apart but will they be friends again?
This book was a good read but not fantastic. It isn't very long and a decent book to fill in some free time. The characters are a little flat and the story ends just as it really begins. If the author would add another hundred pages this could have been a great story. Ending where it does we are left with an okay one instead.
I read this several years ago on CD mainly because of the cover. I liked it but I don't remember much about it. I liked that both boys are likable guys but like you I wish there had been a bit more to the story.
