Fish House Secrets [Mass Market Paperback]

Kathy Stinson's Fish House Secrets is about a boy and girl who meet one summer in Nova Scotia, and alternates his version of what happens with hers. Only a teenager would know for sure, but I suspect she doesn't quite succeed in pulling this tricky manoeuvre off. I do know that local colour and teenage misery are not enough to make the story fly, even with its touch of romance. Teenagers who think the novel that can match TV hasn't been invented might try.
