Love in the Corner Pocket by Marlene Perez

For once, Chloe feels like maybe there is something she can have that Bridget can't get.īut that idea quickly fades. What's more, Alex comes over to Chloe, not Bridget, and starts talking to her.

But Chloe is always quick to defend Bridget and explain that Bridget has been there for her through all the worst times.īut playing second fiddle finally hits home when Alex walks through the door of Gino's, the pizza parlor and pool bar that Chloe feels is her second home. Chloe and Bridget share a friendship that most of Chloe's friends feel is one-sided and only in Bridget's best interest. When your best friend is a blonde California goddess, being second best comes naturally. Light and fast paced, with a cute romance. The ending doesn't feel too final for me, because it wasn't the ending that I wanted, since it's similar to my real life problem's 'ending', and I'm still hoping for a miracle. The pool playing parts bored me though, then again I'm not really interested in the game. I kind of wish I knew more about Bridget though, because I don't understand her. The characters are likable, and yay for a really cute romance. I felt sad for her AND myself, too relatable with the same problem I guess, but she's much better at handling it.Īnyway, I really enjoyed this book. Maybe because me and Chloe are having a same problem, much less dramatic but still really depressing for me, so it was actually quite sad and disturbing. I don't know if it was my reading speed or what, I think it's a light and fast paced book, and not exactly what I would call a fun book. I finished this in around 3 hours because I wanted to finish and return it before school's out for the day, but I guess I read too fast, I ended up with nothing to do for a few hours.
