    About this ebook

    A high-born British boarding-school girl is exiled to America—and meets a hunky punk rocker who turns her world upside down . . .
     
    When wealthy Rain Mackenzie is expelled from her elite British boarding school, she’s forced to join her parents in Massachusetts and attend a lowly public high school as punishment. Determined to escape, Rain makes it her mission to hate everything—and everybody—about Northbrooke High. But that mission becomes impossible when she meets sexy punk rocker Jesse Devlin. Jesse has spikey hair, a pierced eyebrow, and an awesome rock band. Unfortunately, he also has a girlfriend.
     
    As the most popular guy in school, it’s only natural that Jesse dates the most popular girl. But something just feels right about Rain. And besides, she has an accent like James Bond’s, only sexier. In this story of transatlantic teen romance, “Courtenay crafts a spectacular, fun-filled book” (RT Book Reviews).

      I do think this was my favorite Courtenay book so far. It was YA with drama, but the kind of drama I can think. Yes my problem with YA books are that they so often are filled with angst and stupid over dramatic drama. Those books make me wanna smack everyone over the head. While this one, well this one felt more real.

      Rain was, angry yes, but then someone had thrown her to the wolves and she was in a new school where she knew no one. And the most interesting guy, the one who talks to her has a preppy girlfriend. Tough luck. Yes Jesse is a good guy, he plays in a rock band, but that irritating girlfriend of his. Not good.

      It was fun to see them together. Two teens finding their way. She has issues, he has issues. Sure the end was a bit too picture perfect, but then it was also an ending that should happen. I liked it, and I can say nothing more about it.

      The little drama that worked then, well of course it has to do with that he has a girlfriend and that she is annoying ;) That I can handle.

      A nice YA book that was sweet and rocked.
