The third book in the series is Linda’s Lament – here’s a little more about it.
Almost Famous meets 10 Things I Hate About You with elements of Queen’s Gambit.
When Jack corners Lin in the playground, she knows exactly what he wants, but she has her own reasons for agreeing. She’s pretty sure Uncle Teddy’s daughter never gave those kind of squeezy hugs when she was alive, but if Lin tells anyone, her dad could lose his job. When she finally gets to high school, Jack’s back – even more gorgeous and happy to play her leading man in several productions. But the powerful chemistry between Shakespeare’s Benedick and Beatrice never makes it off the stage.
By the time she gets to uni, Lin’s experienced more sexual awakening than any teenage girl ought to have done, courtesy of touring with her dad’s rock band, a stint at a strict convent school, and an enlightening Spanish holiday. But her biggest education comes from a Hell’s Angel Chapter and a Battle of the Bands contest. Despite kissing a lot of frogs, her prince charming is nowhere in sight, but she can’t imagine finding him on a tough engineering degree course.
This cheeky piece of British nostalgia features plucky girls escaping from hairy situations, several handsome hunks, a whole lot of rock bands, and a couple of nasty villains. Feel free to boo and hiss.
