It would cause problems for Liam Birch but then no one could really understand why he and Jude Winter were together. She was utterly driven by her determination to go to medical school. Liam was the reverse. He just acted ''as if life just rolled him over and carried him along''. A bit of weed here, a few drinks there: the legal effects of the car crash really didn't worry him at all. The relationship broke up soon after that - or rather, Liam simply didn't see Jude any more.}}{{Frontpage|author=Julia Bartz|title=The Writing Retreat|rating=4|genre=Thrillers|summary= Roza Vallo.

As they're all fired up, straining at the leash only a single-sex school can form, the talk in class and out often turns to sex. Which is confusing for Ant, as he doesn't know what his score is, where his achievements in that regard lie. He's had a casual relationship, a secret one, for several months now, and so has effectively progressed up the ladder headed by 'experienced', but whether that's set in stone, he can't be sure. And that's mostly because of who he's been having the relationship and the sex with.|isbn=1529509491}}{{Frontpage|isbn=0857051741|title=The Sins of Our Fathers: A Rebecka Martinsson Investigation|author= Asa Larsson and Frank Perry (Translator)|rating=5|genre=Crime|summary=Lars Pohjanen has only a few weeks Letter to live but he's determined that Rebecka Martinsson is going to investigate the case of a body found in a freezer at the home of a deceased alcoholic.
