Starting Over

Cinnamon Girl #2

by Cathy Hopkins

New term, new school - but India Jane isn't looking forward to being the new girl in Year Eleven. Everyone else already has their circle of friends and India Jane feels like she's on the outside looking in. At least she's at the same school as Joe, the boy she met on holiday in Greece, and she's hoping that they may become more than just friends.

But the paths of true love and friendship never seem to run very smoothly...

Get yourself a friend with whom you can quote Shakespeare always. Always and forever.

Another one about the mighty highs ‘n’ lows of an angsty teenager. The second in the Cinnamon Girl series, the book carries on India Jane’s travails as she starts off a new year in a new school. Plagued by first-day woes, she wonders whether she will fit in, make friends…and hopefully get things moving with Joe Donahue (…the boy she met on her last holiday in Greece.)

But the path to fitting-in never runs smooth. With all the cliques and pre-formed groups……India finds herself floundering, putting her foot-in on more than one occasion…and watching her social life go slowly and steadily down the drain.

While the book is nothing out of the ordinary…it’s charm lies in the fact that India is a feisty teenager. She’s smart and witty and is someone who would come out fighting in any given situation. Her occasional rants are restricted to her chat sessions with her best buddy from her last school in Ireland…Erin. Erin is her smart-talking anchor. It's a good friendship which sparkles with wisecracks and tough-love. Something we all needed back in the good ol'days. (.....um, even now!)

A light, lie-on-the-beach kind of read. Enjoyable.

This book is one of the BEST i've ever read. Cathy Hopkins captivated me with her previous series such as Zodiac Girls and Truth, Dare, Kiss, Promise. Well, Cinnamon Girl is the combination of all her series. I was doubtative wheter to read it or not but as soon as I started, I LOVED it. India Jane is artistic and her personality can make many teenage girls emphatize with her. The author's writting is really young and fresh, she can really write :) I recommend this and all of Cathy's books! They are awesome.

me lo regaló mi hermana por navidad, después caí en que era la segunda parte de lo que parece ser una saga (? aunque entendí todo es como que en el mismo libro te hacen recordar las cosas.
no es el tipo de libro que suelo leer y tampoco me parece que es para mi edad jajdjajsj se lo recomendaría más a un pre adolescente que recién está empezando a leer.
Encima lo lei justo cuando estaba con covid jajsjaja queda la experiencia por eso.

El libro en general es bueno, la narración, la lectura y los personajes.
Si bien la trama siempre es lo mismo por lo que no hay demaciada emoción.
Pero es lindo ñara pasar el rato
