Last Year's Mistake

by Gina Ciocca

Is there anything that electric chemistry can't overcome? The past may be gone, but love has a way of holding on in this "thoughtful romance" (School Library Journal) told in alternating Before and After chapters.

The summer before freshman year, Kelsey and David became inseparable best friends-until the night a misunderstanding turned Kelsey into the school joke and everything around her crumbled, including her friendship with David. So when Kelsey's parents decide to move away, she can't wait to start over and leave the past behind. But David's not quite ready for her to leave.

Now it's senior year and Kelsey has a new group of friends, genuine popularity, and a hot boyfriend. Her life is perfect. That is, until David's family moves to town. Old feelings bubble to the surface and threaten to destroy Kelsey's second chance at happiness. The more time she spends with David, the more she realizes she never let him go. And maybe she never wants to...

I don’t really like it. The story focuses on the love-hate of a girl-boy best friends who are too chicken to admit they love each other. I don’t like how it was poorly written that Kelsey dumped Ryan just like that - just when he’s being a douche to David. The author could have include a more ugly reason why Kelsey should break up with Ryan - maybe a third party, beating her because he was over protective or whatever. Ending the book with an LDR set up isn’t just right.
