Crush

By Carrie Mac
Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10

Crush is about a teen girl named Hope, who, while staying with her older sister in an unfamiliar town for the summer, meets some interesting people, and unexpectedly falls for another girl.

Hope has never imagined liking another girl.  She's always identified as being straight, and although she has no problem with other people liking the same sex, she struggles with the discovery that she is attracted to another girl, and develops a serious crush soon after meeting her for the first time.

Crush is a very short (and sweet) novella.  It's a cute, fun story of a first romance and coming to terms with oneself.

I recommend this book to any teen, because Hope's feelings and confusion that come with her first romance make her a relatable character to anyone.
