I grew up reading Kate Cann books. From the first one which came free with a copy of Bliss or Sugar or some other top quality teen mag, I was hooked. There was something about the way she found a voice for her teenage heroines that was neither too old nor too young, nor too cheesy. And it wasn't just the Goldilocks factor. The stories always seemed alarmingly real, as if they could happen to you, or your best friend, or one of the girls at school.
That's when the story really gets going, as the girls, and Davinia's parents, jet off for 6 weeks in the sunshine. But 6 weeks is an awfully long time to do nothing really, just snooze in the sun by day and hang out in the island's meagre night spots in the evening. Davinia might be content with this sort of life, but Chloe soon gets restless and as she tries to take more of a stand and do her own thing the fabric of their friendship starts to come away and things get sticky fast as Davinia undergoes a Tempestian Sea Change.
 
A lot of the pages focus on how torn Chloe feels -
Thank you to the publishers for sending this book. Also recommended by ''The Bookbag'' for girls of this sort of age are [[Good Girls]] if you want another meaty story, or [[The Boy Book]] if you want something a bit more frivolous but equally fun.
 
We also have a review of [[Possessing Rayne by Kate Cann]].
