Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Ria

Vincenza has just moved from Manila to the US. Her parents seem to be behind on what's popular with American teens and they embarass her to no end. But soon, she makes a new friend since her old best friend, Peaches, is still in Manila. Her new friend is a French student who is also disliked at her school.

Vincenza develops a crush on a guy name Claude and tries to get his attention. But her mother keeps pushing her to go out with this Filipino boy named Freddy. In school, is she isn't getting any positive attention. But she communicates with Peaches and tells her lies about her "perfect life".

I thought that this book was really, really good. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I could really relate to Vincenza because my parents are just like hers! But this is a quick, fun read and definately great for the springtime.
