BLURB:
Blood sisters till the end...
Until they're not.
One cold night in a boarding school dorm, two fourteen-year-old girls
make a blood sister pact. Friends forever. As young schoolgirls, they're
determined to find true love, learning the hits and misses along the way. As
graduation nears, the girls have different outlooks for the future. Lucinda
longs for adventure. Anna chooses city life and marriage. Finding their way
back together, the girls head west for an experience of a lifetime until a
handsome cowboy bursts into their lives, changing the course of their
friendship forever.

Excerpt:
“It’s perfect.” Anna’s jaw dropped. “The whole outfit.” She
pointed from the top of Lucinda’s head down to her cream Mary Jane shoes. “This
is definitely the year we find you a boy.”
“Oh, no. I like to play the field.” Lucinda stuck out her
tongue, looped her arm through Anna’s and marched her out the door.
“If I’m not mistaken, you had your eye on someone last year.
Let’s make a blood sister pact for the year. You’re going to meet him, this
mystery man. Remember, we promised to help each other make our dreams come
true.” Anna wasn’t giving up. She knew Lucinda very well and wouldn’t be fooled
by the distractions.
“And who is my mystery man?” Lucinda pretended she had no
idea. She gave no clue to his identity last year, and Anna was determined to
find out.
“Well, from what I gathered last year, his name might be
Gerald?” Anna decided to test Lucinda and watch for a reaction. “Peter?” Her
face remained blank. “Roy?” A slight twitch at the corners of Lucinda’s mouth
gave her away. “It’s Roy. I knew we went to the library a lot more than
necessary. He worked there shelving books, didn’t he?”
“You got me!” Lucinda held her hands up in defeat. “It’s
hard to meet boys when we’re at one school and they’re at another, even though
we’re all on one campus. A girl’s gotta do, what a girl’s gotta do. Remember
that, Anna. It’s our blood sister saying like a secret handshake.”
This book took me more by surprise. I wasn't expecting to go in actually enjoying the book as much I did! As you read you can somewhat relate at some point of your life to what these two girls deal with. But how strong can their bond be? This is part of a series, but can be read by itself. With saying that, I think I will have to go read the first one.
