Literary Redhead's Reviews > One Week of You

Oh how I love this charming and ever so real novel about Lizzy, a super smart high school freshman faced with the angst of first love in the digital age. She contends with the scenario of the cute new guy showing her attention, while faced with doing what is right despite conflicting peer pressure. The caldron of pubertal emotions she experiences makes one remember high school as if it were yesterday.

Along with puppy love there are mysterious fire alarms. Friendship conundrums. A geeky classmate who smells her hair while she dissects a fetal pig in biology. A beloved brother who quotes Yoda. A loving father who understands everything; a more challenging mom-daughter relationship. In short, life in all its authentic complexities.

I dare any reader to not get emotionally involved from the start, then page faster and faster through to the very human denouement. Five of five hearty stars, with a cheerleading squad yelling “yay team” while doing high kicks!

I thank the author for waiting for so patiently for my review and for the great privilege of doing it! ONE WEEK OF YOU can be purchased on Amazon.
