Starting all over again in a new town can be hard enough but with Dad not around anymore, her Mum on the verge of a breakdown and a kid sister to look after – Kally’s life is suddenly full of secrets.
When the gorgeous Jem skates into Kally’s life and sweeps her off her feet, things finally seem to be going right. But as she and Jem grow closer, Kally dicovers there’s more than one side to him and that she’s not the only one with things to hide. Soon her life is spinning out of control …
I wish skate-boarding had been around when I was a kid. I had to make do with roller skates. I can see why Kally fell for Jem, I would have so loved to hang about with him, doing tricks. But what intrigues me about the whole business of falling in love is that it’s just as easy to fall out of love too and that’s when the trouble starts, when one of you doesn’t want to let go…
