Brooke Davis has everything a teenage girl could desire - looks, popularity, and all the clothes money can buy. But she can't have the one thing she wants most - Lucas Scott. Sure, he was all hers for a few weeks during basketball season, but somehow he slipped through her fingers. And now the girl who swore never to let a guy break her heart has a secret: She wants him back.
Unfortunately for Brooke, getting Lucas back is easier said than done. Just a few months ago, Lucas was a quiet, bookish nobody. But now it seems like half the girls at THH are after him - including Brooke's best friend, Peyton.
Brooke is determined not to let Lucas some between her and Peyton again. But keeping her true feelings buried is a lot harder than Brooke imagined it would be - especially now that Lucas wants to rebuild his friendships with both her and Peyton.
I found the blurb of this book (written above) to be a little bit misleading. Yes, there are certain aspects of it that are accurate but I also feel as though there are a few embellishments that aren't quite necessary. I watch the TV show, One Tree Hill, which this book is based on and I have watched the episodes that are related to this book. When I read a book, I watch what is happening in my mind. I have a very vivid imagination. I could easily imagine this in my mind because I had seen it happen on TV. Had I not watched it I think that it would have been slightly more difficult to imagine the scenes that I was reading. I feel that, at times, the book seemed to have been written by a teenager themselves. I understand that this book, like the show is aimed primarily at teenagers and young adults but I think that the structure of the story and the way that it was written could have been better. If you enjoy the TV show then I would recommend this book as it is pretty accurate in terms of what you will have seen on the show, however if you are not a fan of the series then you might not find this book as interesting. This is because you might not know the background of the characters involved which are pretty important to be able to fully enjoy and appreciate the book.
