But since her parents trust her as much as they trust a cat burglar at the moment, Flora has no choice but to suffer through the boyfriend- less summer of her discontent from the back of a rented SUV, until ...
Fate tosses a sexy, sophisticated gypsy boy into her path, making Flora wonder if destiny might know best.Because just as Flora falls head over heels, an unexpected turn of events threatens to land her in the slammer - or worse separate her from the man of her dreams.
Any Red-Blooded Girl is a fun, feisty story; automatically you're introduced to Flora who's a quirky and hot tempered girl. She never wanted to go on a trip to the wilderness with her family, especially when hot European boys are available in a completely different trip. Expectations are shattered when Flora meets an adorable boy, who makes her forget any potential European boys. This leading to one of Flora's best trips in her life...
Laugh out loud comedy, this story was simple and sweet. Maggie Bloom creates interesting characters and portrays a believable teenage voice throughout the novel.
However, the relationship between Flora and Mick (whilst sweet and caring) it bordered onto obsession and crazy stalker love. They loved each other tremendously and that was only after 2/3 days of meeting, so it was close to instant love. Also, Flora's relationship with her brother could of being developed more, to help improve the family set up.
Simple flaws shouldn't put anybody off this book as it is a good read.
I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Memorable characters with a fabulous plot, favourite lines from Any Red-Blooded Girl including:
' "I love you." What?! Did I really just say that out loud? Did he hear me? "I mean, I'd love to." '
' my father suddenly shouted, in his just-hit-the-lottery voice. "Hot diggity! Put your party pants on people!" '
3 stars out of 5
