Rachel Wing

It's been many years since I've read any teenage romance books. I can't really remember what they were about but assume they were in a similar vane to Rachael Wing's Star Crossed.

This is her first book and is about a girl who ends up playing Juliet in the school play opposite a Romeo both she and her family dislike. The obvious happens and they both fall in love. This is probably exactly the kind of book that pre-teen/early teenage girls would love.

Rachael Wing's second book, Love Struck, was much easier to read than her first. Her writing had definitely improved and the story felt a bit more believable (apart from the final pages, where she ends up on stage with her favourite band and her best friend/the guy she was meant to be with all along!). But that's me being cynical, young teenage girls will love the final outcome.

This book would appeal to girls who are interested in boys and bands. Not a bad story, especially when you consider the writer is only a teenager herself.
