The ALAN Review -
As its title suggests, this novel deals with a very complicated love triangle focusing on three high-school graduates who have been friends since grade school. Although Joy and Jeremy are deeply involved with each other, they have vowed to keep their relationship a secret from Darin, who believes that Joy will follow him to college and eventually marry him. Darin's hold on Joy is based on a tragic accident in which he becomes paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. When Joy becomes pregnant with Jeremy's child, the truth is revealed when Joy is injured in the state championship softball game. This novel should capture the interest of mature teens. The sports action in the story should entertain fans of girls' softball.Book Details
