It's a Prom Thing

Love Stories For Young Adults #19

by Diane Schwemm

Susanna Reyes and Anders Lund have sworn off love--and dating--forever. Susanna's boyfriend died a year ago, and she wishes everyone would quit bugging her about "moving on."



Norwegian exchange student Anders understands exactly how she feels. Burned in the past, he's vowed never to let another girl get close enough to hurt him.



Susanna and Anders make the perfect non-couple. They go on hikes, to the movies--even to their senior prom--together. But when Anders' gentle touch begins to make Susanna blush, things get complicated. Is being "just friends" enough anymore?

Proper review coming soon!

This book is slated for a re-read as part of Shelf Love, my way of going back to my old shelf and re-reading books that I haven't done a proper review yet.

Thank you!

Nothing phenomenal but it's good for what it is - sweet, sappy sentimental pulp fiction. Perfect for when you have two hours to kill and want a feel-good read that won't tax your brains.

A cute high school romance with a likeable couple.
Tropes include pretend romance, friends to lovers, breakup to avoid future pain.
