Really good- not too cheesy,
By
This review is from: The Wrong Boy (CosmoGIRL!/Piccadilly Love Stories) (Paperback)
This book was really lovely! Picking it up in the bookshop, feeling its cover, reading the back- I knew from the very beginning that this would be a great book. Already the cover-art is attractive.
Grace Foster-Bryce is used to the glamour of living in a mansion out in the country, attending a posh private school and having lots of friends. Her father, however, is earning the money dishonestly and is soon found out, causing them to go bankrupt. Grace, her mother and her 12-year-old brother, move to a run-down area of London, where Grace is bullied, until she is saved by a boy called Jay Jones, who lives in the tower estate across from her little semidetached house. This book is filled with all sorts of twists and turns, tears, laughter- you name it. Though it may look, at first glance, like a typical, cheesy love story, it is in fact written with such emotional intelligence, that it had me close to tears at the end. In the middle, it had my heart pounding when something terrible happens and Jay Jones is in trouble. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good teenage novel!

Another brilliant book from this author,
This review is from: The Wrong Boy (CosmoGIRL!/Piccadilly Love Stories) (Paperback)
Well, wot can I say? I read Ibiza summer last year and loved it and then saw that the author had written a new one so I bought it and was not disapointed. In fact, I reckon this book is even better. It's so realistic and funny and sad. I love the character of jessica - she's really funny and really tru to life and I love the fact that Grace falls in love with a scruff-bag from an estate when she's properly posh. I believe you can fall in lov with anyone no matter where they are from.
There's some really toching moments in this story, especially between the mum and Grace and the little brother. And Grace and JJ's romance is believable. I like the way anna-louise wetherley writes, realistic, good pace, likeable characters, not too babyish or 'teen' but why is it so sad? Ibiza summer had me sobbing and so did this - happy endings please! I recommend this to anyone who likes a realistic, grown-up love story with laughs and tears. I hope she writes another one soon.

Great Read - Loved It!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Wrong Boy (CosmoGIRL!/Piccadilly Love Stories) (Paperback)
The Wrong Boy is about a girl called Grace who is posh and lives in a big house, until her dad is discovered for fraud and sent to jail. Grace, her brother and her mother move to a 'rough' part of London. They end up in a house backing onto a railway track and a tower block. Grace meets a boy called JJ (Jay Jones) and he helps her see the nicer side of London. They fall in love but no good things can last forever... or can they?
At the beginning you feel sorry for Grace and her family, but when she meets JJ Grace starts to like living in London. JJ is popular, so he stops Grace from getting bullied and goes to parties with her. At the end it is quite sad, but I won't tell you why because it will ruin the whole book! This book is suitable for any girl 13+ - a great book from an excellent author!
