Holding On is a contemporary fiction suitable for Young Adult readers; I recommend high school age and up.
Becca is smart, funny, and an amazing tennis player. She is also being uprooted and moved 2000 miles away from her best friend, and secret crush, Brad. He loves Becca, but doesn’t tell her until she is leaving. Ethan is a nice guy at Becca’s new school who brings her whole being to life whenever he is around her. What is a girl to do?
This is a book that I like very much. It has an easy flow even though it transitions along a rocky and unexpected path. It is emotional but without all that dramatic angst that is hard for me to stomach. It is a love triangle, but not in the traditional sense. Author Rachael Brownell has written an excellent work that is smart and entertaining. There is the tiniest hint of a cliffhanger within the last lines. What happens next? You will have to read Unglued.
