The Tenth Girl by Carrie AaronsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5⭐️’s.
The Tenth Girl is about a lot of things and everything teen related. It is set around a couple in their senior year of high school. One is the beloved quarterback jock, the other has transferred from another school and likes to write. The thing that bonds them together is the love of books. The situation that is their undoing is competition, and it's not between each other.
Cain Kent is one that you will hate/love, and in that order. He starts out as the obnoxious boob that thinks he is God and nothing will stand in his path. Along the way, he learns to trust and open up, and becomes a man. One that is sweet and kind and selfless. Harper Posy has learnt to grow up quickly from losing a parent and it is her mum and herself alone in the world. They move back to her mother's home town to live with her grandmother and Harper gleans some new friends. Never did she expect to connect with her English classmate, especially after their first encounter.
If you like your teen high school drama books, you will revel in this one. And on the norm, I do enjoy them too. This time it was a little too high on the teen angst for me, and it had a sense of immaturity about it. The story line in itself was fine and had a very familiar feel. I would have like to have seen something new or more gripping in the plot.
