That was a terrifying thought. Juno Dawson is quickly becoming one of my favourite YA writers having devoured two of her books in as many weeks.

I would highly recommend her book Clean which is one of my favourite reads this year. Cruel Summer was a wonderful mix mystery, witty British dialogue and friendship that from the first page was impossible to put down.

With wonderful pacing as the story developed up until the heart-pounding ending and make no mistake my heart was actually pounding I could not pry myself away and when I absolutely had to I was counting down the minutes until I could reunite with the gang in their Spanish villa.

Dawson has a wonderful way of luring you into the world that she is creating, with characters that are constantly developing in a very holistic way until the last word.

All of the characters have their flaws but they have this sense that you have met these people before that allows the reader to feel like these are your friends, they all have a great depth without taking away from the flow of the story by becoming overly cumbersome with backstory.

I have to say this element really drew me into story and allowed the author to create an element of realness in this clever and twisty mystery, allowing the main narrator to acknowledge that in a TV show this would represent different elements of the season which would be expected but in real life it was insane.

It was also a very interesting way to show a different type of coping mechanism as Ryan uses this as a way of trying to disassociate harder times in his life from the reality of what is happening.

Throughout the story there were so many times that I smugly thought that I had beaten the author and figured out who had done it, only to completely change my opinion in the next chapter.

The story is so cleverly plotted that I had a blast reading it. I hope that Dawson continues to write stories like that this for a long time to come, she is one of the most captivating authors that I have read in very long time.

I am actually worried for the next book I read because Juno Dawson is setting the bar high. Dec 06, Leanna daisychainbooks rated it it was amazing.

Can I please have more books like this? FYI: I figured out the 'who' before the reveal, but was wrong on the 'why'. Ryan did make me laugh. All the drama with that boy!

If you like mystery but not that super elaborated adult books that can get kind of boring this is the book for you. I also had a lot of fun trying to figure out who had really killed Janey.

Although the letter size in the version of the book I own is smaller than normal I was still able to read this book very quickly because of the engaging story.

We get to see different typos like the jock, the nerd, the bad girl, the good girl and the new girl which are no less interesting even if they are stereotypes.

The action can take some dozens of pages to start but in those we are able to get to know most of the characters and a bit of the past which was still captivating to me.

When we finally get to the main story almost every chapter finishes with a climatic ending that keeps our eyes on the book wanting more and more.

Putting that aside, Cruel Summer was a fun, weird and mysterious ride that was totally worth it and made me search all about James Dawson and his other books for future reading.

Apr 27, Beth bibliobeth rated it really liked it. The story revolves around a group of friends who meet for a relaxing break in sunny Spain but have barely seen each other since the previous summer when tragedy struck and one of their friends Janey lost her life.

From the very beginning however it becomes clear that what was thought of as a suicide attempt on the part of Janey may have actually been a murder which had to have been carried out by one of the members of the group.

This is corroborated when an extra unwanted? Furthermore, the group find themselves in a situation way over their heads and contacting the police for assistance is no longer an option.

I have to admit I did end up guessing the identity of the killer in the end but not their reasons behind it which was fantastically drawn by our author.

One of the things I loved most about this novel is the way it was written, in other words imagined as a film script by one of our lead characters Ryan superstar wannabe and theatre darling who I completely fell in love with.

In this way we also heard the voices of several other characters as well as Ryan, which was a very effective way of getting into their mindset and motive for murder as they grieve or cry crocodile tears over the friend they lost a year ago.

There are so many delicious twists and turns to this novel, and it really reminded me of some of the Point Horror books I devoured as a teenager.

As with those, the author kept me turning the pages while I tried to figure out exactly what was happening and who was responsible. And the ending?

The pacing just builds and builds right to the nail-biting finale and the dramatic revelations. I found this novel a perfect and exciting young adult read from a very talented author who I hope keeps churning books like these out for a long time to come.

Aug 26, Liz Barnsley rated it it was amazing Shelves: highly-recommended , favourites. Then I needed a few hours sleep…..

A group of friends gather at a villa in Spain, one year after the suicide of one of their number, to reconnect and have some fun and frolics.

I loved this book in the way that I love all twisty turny tales, with a fiery passion — even more so because this really was a movie in a book.

And I really do hope that there IS a movie…I would love to see these characters come to life on screen in the way they did in my head whilst I was reading.

Ok, so James Dawson did not beat me — My twisty brain had the answer about half way through.. Compelling characterisation made things even more interesting…how many of us had the same grouping of friends personality wise at school and beyond I wonder…probably most.

Cleverly realistic and always fascinating this is a must read for anyone who loves a good mystery, backed up by great characters and great writing.

Ooh, solid murder mystery with a great voice. Reminds me of The O. Crazy ending, I couldn't stop reading it! Shelves: male-narrator , female-narrator , giggle-chuckle-books , book-best-friends , read-in So actually this book got 3 and a half star because it was difficult to pick between 3 and 4 but after some thinking I made it to 3.

However this book reminded me a bit too much of Pretty Little Liars, they were all perfect and all and the whole idea was craycray but that wasn't the problem, it was really the all in all vibe.

At first I liked it but than the picture perfect was too much and I found it a bit of a shame. Not saying that it was too much like Pretty Li So actually this book got 3 and a half star because it was difficult to pick between 3 and 4 but after some thinking I made it to 3.

Not saying that it was too much like Pretty Little Liars but they were all rich and perfect at what they were doing. The lying over Janey her death was cringe worthy but that's also because I studied law and I can't see why you would lie to the police when it wasn't your fault.

The writing however was brilliant, it was like a movie and I liked Ryan his character absolutely. Shame of the ending.

But he wasn't enough to make me love the rest. The setting with a middle of no where summer house is asking for trouble, something that Ryan mentions the moment he thinks about a horror, the slaming of the doors: hello wind, nice to hear you too.

I am glad that I'm not in a rich clinque like they are, the fact how Rox handled their leaver's ball and the whole situation with being a pro footballer, alcoholic person and so on and most of all the craycray last person that had this ridiculous idea of revenge.

Well boo hoo, I can't really believe it, but it was a fun read! Don't get me wrong. But this came especially because of the writing! Oct 05, Lucy Powrie rated it it was amazing Shelves: own-books , physical-review-copies , to-review , contemporary , emotional , review-books , ukya , all-time-favourites , favourites , bbc-ukyaread.

Having not read many books like this one, I was a bit hesitant beforehand but I was super pleased when the opportunity to review it came up and I jumped at the chance.

But when events are brought up to the surface again, one thing is made clear: one of the gang murdered Janey Bradshaw, but which one of them was it?

One of the things that I loved the most was that it engaged the reader and I was certainly involved; I felt like I was a spectator and was constantly wondering who the murderer was, much like the friends would have been doing.

I want to create a whole new rating system for it. I really loved Ryan and his way of thinking. It helped Ryan detach himself from the drama that was going on and I liked that.

Alisha was another of my favourite characters and the novel alternated between following Ryan and Alisha so it was fitting that I loved them both.

Alisha was more fiery and spirited than Katie or Erin and I found her a lot more interesting and easy to get to know. I felt comfortable reading about her and wanted to know more.

She was one of the reasons for me being so hooked. Without giving anything away, Dawson is able to write mystery perfectly.

There were so many twists and red herrings. I was sure I knew who the murderer was and then something would happen and I would change my mind.

Cruel Summer showcases effortlessly how fab UKYA is and I know that I will be thrusting it into the hands of whoever is brave enough to come near me when I have my bookish head on.

Everybody must read this book! View 1 comment. Aug 27, Chrissi rated it really liked it. There are some amazing twists and James successfully always keeps the reader guessing.

I have to admit, I did begin to guess who the killer was, but I had no idea why they would do it. Cruel Summer is about five school friends on holiday together in a Spanish villa.

They are getting over the death of their friend Janey a year ago. It is then that everything spirals out of control with some very severe consequences… I could easily picture this book as a horror film.

I loved how Ryan narrated the story. I loved how the book was told from mainly two perspectives, Ryan and Alisha. They were both such wonderful characters.

I particularly liked Alisha, although I loved all the drama from Ryan. The chapters are short but action-packed.

Cruel Summer is so brilliantly paced. I read it so fast, because I just wanted to know what was going on. I felt the second part of the book was incredibly tense, with so many plot twists.

Mar 18, Anuradha Iyer rated it liked it. This book had some nice twists to it. I feel that the reason the murderer had for killing a few of the characters was rather shallow and I wish the author had made the murderer's reason more substantial with more kick.

Overall this book kept me glued to it. I was looking forward to finding out who the murderer was and it sure did surprise me.

I tried guessing who it was and was half correct in relation to who was present when Janey died. The plot wasn't anything entirely new.

It was a bit simila This book had some nice twists to it. It was a bit similar to plot-lines of movies like "I know what you did last summer. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it.

The style of writing it like a tv show was new and different. I rather liked it. It also gave a few different perspectives from the various characters which was refreshing.

Generally it is well written and is worth a read. Sep 20, Amelia rated it it was ok. I kind of feel bad for giving this 2 stars, it more like 2 and a half because it wasn't terrible, it was just a little predictable and written a but stupid.

I didn't click with any of the characters, they all annoyed me and we're self centered little bitches. For most of the book nothing happened and if people hadn't have been killed it sounds like it would have been a shit holiday, they didn't leave the villa for 4 days!

Anyways, I saw the killer coming but not for the reason why, that I kind of feel bad for giving this 2 stars, it more like 2 and a half because it wasn't terrible, it was just a little predictable and written a but stupid.

They decide to go away on holiday to Katie's villa Nobody wants to talk about it, but someone is about to force their hand.

We see events through the eyes of Ryan, our TV star in the making. He views everything as if it was his own personal TV show, which is a form of coping mechanism, but it means everything is elevated to a more significant status in an attempt to show its worthiness.

It also means that there's a rather irritating tendency to self-consciously deconstruct everything to tell us why it's significant, or to force us into a certain train of thought.

There's the standard cliches: jock, good girl, nerd We watch these supposedly 'perfect teens' implode as secrets are outed.

Some of the secrets are given up more easily than others, and some offer more of a motive for murder than others. Throughout, I felt like I was reading a paint-by-numbers screenplay for a teen scary movie.

It was good fun, but didn't move beyond what we'd expect. If you want to know who did it, you'll have to read the book. You'll probably have sussed it very early on, but it's good fun watching our various characters work things out.

Jan 29, Gabrielle Signor rated it really liked it. The book begins with a flash back to prom night, where a girl is dying, which remains to be the mystery throughout the story.

This mystery is about a girl who was thought to have committed suicide, but it is brought to the attention of a group of friends reuniting at a Spanish villa that their friends death was not a suicide but in fact a possible murder.

Throughout the story a tension now builds about who was responsible for her death, as the murderer lies amongst the group of friends.

The book is narrated from an interesting point of view, in which the story is told almost as if it were a tv show, in the way it is being split into scenes.

I think this device definitely makes the book a lot better and more of an interesting read for the reader because it provides an unusual perspective while at the same time making things more interesting.

I was reading it at night, alone Dawson wrote the book, but towards the ending he said, darn it i need a motive! Ryaaaaaaaaaaaaan D,: no no no no let everyone die, just let Ryan live!

Review originally posted on Beautiful Bookish Butterflies When it comes to James Dawson's books, I could lie and tell you that I've known about him for a long time but in reality I only really heard about him when he wrote Say Her Name.

Though I haven't read it yet I was intrigued by how much everyone was going on about not only the book but the author himself, so I set out to find one to read.

I came across Cruel Summer in one of my local libraries and knew that I wanted it, it since set on my sh Review originally posted on Beautiful Bookish Butterflies When it comes to James Dawson's books, I could lie and tell you that I've known about him for a long time but in reality I only really heard about him when he wrote Say Her Name.

From the get go the book reminded me of Dangerous Girls, with the friends on holiday abroad in a remote place, and Ten, friends thinking that something was laid to rest only to have strange things happening.

One big difference is that Cruel Summers characters are from England and it was one of the things I loved about it, but being that we English have such unusual way's of talking and words for things sometimes, something that showed up in the book, I thought that people from overseas who picked it up could be turned off of the writing and slang because they didn't fully understand.

Being from England I can hold my hands up and say that sometimes our style of talking can take some getting used to haha.

I wouldn't say that this would be a bad thing about the book because obviously the kids are going to talk the way they do and those overseas might have a problem with it like I though, but that's how I felt.

As I started reading the book I was very interested by the characters and was looking forward to their development, however I was around pages in and sadly still waiting.

One thing that did grab my attention from the start was how the book is mainly set from Ryan and Alisha's point of view, you have Ryan who doesn't believe that their friend Janie would have killed herself and then you have Alisha who hasn't really said much about it.

Though it's set from other peoples from time to time, these two are in my opinion the main characters and it gives you the sense that both had far more to do with the suicide than they are letting on.

As the book is about a group of 7 people a year after the death of their friend, you have a lot of different personalities and back stories to wrap your head round.

We have Ben, not only Janies boyfriend at the time of the accident but also once long-term boyfriend of Katie, a good girl who's parent's own the Vila in Spain where they will be spending the next 2 weeks.

Next you have Greg and Alisha, though they may be twins they couldn't be more different. Greg is a professional athlete and Alisha was crowed 'most likely to go to rehab' in school.

We also have the addition of Erin, Greg's girlfriend and someone that the rest really know nothing about. Lastly, we have the one they never expected to see, Roxanne.

Not only does she have a shady past and grudges with nearly all of them, but she claims that she has prof that janies death wasn't as black and white as the polices claimed and she's willing to go to extreme lengths to get what she wants.

I can't say I've ever been the best at murder mysteries and that I don't change my mind thousands of times, but there was one theory I was set on and though it was slightly different, the person and part were still right in the end so I was happy that I had uncovered the secrets.

Was there still a lot of suspense and twists that I didn't see coming? Of course, I'm not that good. So now it comes down to the point in the review where I tell you if I liked the book or not.

Well the answer is half and half. I thought the theory behind the story was really good,and the scene setting was faultless, however I felt that everything I was good about this book was let down by the little things.

I didn't really find any of the characters to be relatable, but that's not to say you wont. Though I have already stated it plenty of times, I did like the style of the book and how it was set out like a film, but I felt like sometimes the characters were stating the obvious and being way over the top sometimes and it was something that really started to grate on my a little as the story went on no matter how much I tried to overlook it.

I also felt like the book could have don with more flashback of Lanie, considering the book was mainly about her death I don't feel like she was truly given a voice and if it was a story solely on the way the characters were dealing with her death it wouldn't have mattered that much but it became a murder mystery so I would have just liked to see more about the person who inspired it.

Over all this book was good, it was a fun read and I didn't get so frustrated that I decided to DNF which is always a good thing.

However like already mentioned, there just happened to be a few things that I felt let the book down and lacking something. Would I read more of James Dawson?

Without a doubt. I don't read a lot of thrillers, since I'm so picky about them, but I really got a Christopher Pike vibe from Cruel Summer, which reminded me of the time when 12 to year-old me would devour his spooky books and not sleep at night because of them.

Review originally posted on Beautiful Bookish Butterflies When it comes to James Dawson's books, I could lie and tell you that I've known about him for a long time but in reality I only really heard about him when he wrote Say Her Name.

Though I haven't read it yet I was intrigued by how much everyone was going on about not only the book but the author himself, so I set out to find one to read.

I came across Cruel Summer in one of my local libraries and knew that I wanted it, it since set on my sh Review originally posted on Beautiful Bookish Butterflies When it comes to James Dawson's books, I could lie and tell you that I've known about him for a long time but in reality I only really heard about him when he wrote Say Her Name.

From the get go the book reminded me of Dangerous Girls, with the friends on holiday abroad in a remote place, and Ten, friends thinking that something was laid to rest only to have strange things happening.

One big difference is that Cruel Summers characters are from England and it was one of the things I loved about it, but being that we English have such unusual way's of talking and words for things sometimes, something that showed up in the book, I thought that people from overseas who picked it up could be turned off of the writing and slang because they didn't fully understand.

Being from England I can hold my hands up and say that sometimes our style of talking can take some getting used to haha.

I wouldn't say that this would be a bad thing about the book because obviously the kids are going to talk the way they do and those overseas might have a problem with it like I though, but that's how I felt.

As I started reading the book I was very interested by the characters and was looking forward to their development, however I was around pages in and sadly still waiting.

One thing that did grab my attention from the start was how the book is mainly set from Ryan and Alisha's point of view, you have Ryan who doesn't believe that their friend Janie would have killed herself and then you have Alisha who hasn't really said much about it.

Though it's set from other peoples from time to time, these two are in my opinion the main characters and it gives you the sense that both had far more to do with the suicide than they are letting on.

As the book is about a group of 7 people a year after the death of their friend, you have a lot of different personalities and back stories to wrap your head round.

We have Ben, not only Janies boyfriend at the time of the accident but also once long-term boyfriend of Katie, a good girl who's parent's own the Vila in Spain where they will be spending the next 2 weeks.

Next you have Greg and Alisha, though they may be twins they couldn't be more different. Greg is a professional athlete and Alisha was crowed 'most likely to go to rehab' in school.

We also have the addition of Erin, Greg's girlfriend and someone that the rest really know nothing about. Lastly, we have the one they never expected to see, Roxanne.

Not only does she have a shady past and grudges with nearly all of them, but she claims that she has prof that janies death wasn't as black and white as the polices claimed and she's willing to go to extreme lengths to get what she wants.

I can't say I've ever been the best at murder mysteries and that I don't change my mind thousands of times, but there was one theory I was set on and though it was slightly different, the person and part were still right in the end so I was happy that I had uncovered the secrets.

Was there still a lot of suspense and twists that I didn't see coming? Of course, I'm not that good. So now it comes down to the point in the review where I tell you if I liked the book or not.

Well the answer is half and half. I thought the theory behind the story was really good,and the scene setting was faultless, however I felt that everything I was good about this book was let down by the little things.

I didn't really find any of the characters to be relatable, but that's not to say you wont. Though I have already stated it plenty of times, I did like the style of the book and how it was set out like a film, but I felt like sometimes the characters were stating the obvious and being way over the top sometimes and it was something that really started to grate on my a little as the story went on no matter how much I tried to overlook it.

I also felt like the book could have don with more flashback of Lanie, considering the book was mainly about her death I don't feel like she was truly given a voice and if it was a story solely on the way the characters were dealing with her death it wouldn't have mattered that much but it became a murder mystery so I would have just liked to see more about the person who inspired it.

Over all this book was good, it was a fun read and I didn't get so frustrated that I decided to DNF which is always a good thing.

However like already mentioned, there just happened to be a few things that I felt let the book down and lacking something.

Would I read more of James Dawson? Without a doubt. I don't read a lot of thrillers, since I'm so picky about them, but I really got a Christopher Pike vibe from Cruel Summer, which reminded me of the time when 12 to year-old me would devour his spooky books and not sleep at night because of them.

I really enjoyed this book and I did NOT expect that ending! Apr 21, Elvira Bianchi rated it really liked it Shelves: read-it-in-english , young-and-new-adult , thriller-mystery-crime , yay-for-diversity.

Cruel Summer was a great time, lots of suspense, lots of scares and lots of fun. The fun is had by me the reader and not the characters of the book, they get maybe 40 pages of carefree good times and then its a bunch of stress, terror and regret.

There was a basement scene that made me a bit jumpy and in all honesty a bit screamy when someone made a noise in my house, reading is not for the faint of heart Annnnnnyways back to Cruel Summer about a vacation that is sure to go Cruel Summer was a great time, lots of suspense, lots of scares and lots of fun.

Annnnnnyways back to Cruel Summer about a vacation that is sure to go wrong. These people should not be vacationing together, they have lots of baggage and resentment that has been brewing for the last year as they are all at separate colleges and have not seen each other for 12 mths.

Basically no one is getting their security deposit back from this destination. Greg and his new girlfriend Erin Greg is going to be a pro footballer, he is the golden child of his parents and his hometown.

He is also twin brother of Alisha Poor Alisha has had a rough go of it teenage years wise but is committed to a fresh start and is also harbouring a possible crush on Ben The loveable nerd who everyone states wouldn't hurt a fly and just seems to be the sweetest.

He is also ex-boyfriend of Katie The soft spoken good girl that has trouble saying a bad word about anybody, a bit of a pushover and seems to be polar opposite to dear friend Ryan Ryan was my favourite character he is an actor waiting for his big break.

We get Ryan's point of view for half of the story,he is gay, attractive and comfortable in his own skin. I enjoyed Ryan's inner thoughts and actions the most.

I knew when the book was over I would miss Ryan's take on everything, well done character that will be what I remember about this book.

Full disclosure it took a good 50 pages for me to get properly into this book, but once I was in I was in for the long haul which was not really a long haul at all, my epub was under pages long which was perfect Jul 31, Jessica Jess Hearts Books rated it really liked it Shelves: review-copy , signed-books , favorites.

On the one year anniversary of her death the friends decide to reunite for a sunny holiday in Spain. Sun, Sea and Sand - I loved the setting for this story!

I loved every single character in this book and really enjoyed reading about UK teen characters abroad. Cruel Summer has a very cinematic feel which Ryan only adds to with his flair for the dramatic and how he imagines his life as an on-going TV series — starring himself as the main character of course!

I can definitely see this as a TV show or British film — think Skins meets The Inbetweeners movie only with more murder and intrigue.

I really loved getting to know this group of friends and I soon felt like I was part of their group. But like every group of friends each of them has their secrets that they keep from each other.

I loved untangling their messy little lies! There were twists and turns until the very end and there were a lot of red herrings to keep you guessing.

Aug 09, Amy rated it it was amazing Shelves: british. Words are supposed to be powerful, aren't they? They bloody are.

As James correctly said, it's all about the feels. There's nicer feelings, obviously, but certain feelings aren't really going to leave such a I've never read anything that could be compared to Cruel Summer.

There's obviously books which may share a smidgen with Cruel Summer but really This book will make your jaw drop; it will then precede to hang there for a few m Words are supposed to be powerful, aren't they?

The pace Thrillers, a kick for authors too. My suspicions danced around like crazy fireflies or something, who killed who? I did guess the circumstances around Janey's death but was so confused by other factors I literally considered so many possibilities.

None of them had it all cracked. You may guess the killer but There is no way anyone could get within even a mile of predicting the ending.

It might be enjoyed by NA's but anyway The characters were just so, so fantastic. You have jock with bad girl twin and new girl, good girls buddying up with a character and a half and of course If I'm honest, I preferred Alisha's excerpts as they were much more down to earth.

The book still had its 'pretend it's TV' theme but she wasn't comparing her life to anything else- she was just realizing that it was happening around her.

Ryan, on the other hand, converted everything to TV and early on, he even made everything sounded scripted Scene 1 especially! I didn't really like that- a book is a different medium.

It can have similarities but it's annoying. In books, characters don't convert their lives to books- nobody converts their life to a book :P So, movies?

It's slightly annoying, but maybe not for everyone, at the end of the day. It's more the concept than how it was done.

The writing is just amazing! If they burst into song, Kurt would probably think it was a musical You'd think it would be more cliched than it was, though.

Obviously, these things you will know are so NOT going to happen to you, but you will be left thinking. It was more realistic than I thought it could be- I cried at one point.

Real tears. Dec 06, Sarah rated it really liked it Shelves: books-i-own-print , british-author , signed , read-in , for-review-read.

I'm happy to say it completely lived up to my expectations and I loved every minute of it! Cruel Summer reminded me of a British version of the movie I know What You Did Last Summer and I could easily picture this being turned into a film in the future I really would love to see that happen!

It also has a flavour of the old Point Horror books I grew up on which I absolutely loved. The story is of a group of friends who are reconnecting on holiday together in Spain after spending a year doing their own thing at different universities.

Their last summer ended badly when their friend Janey committed suicide but when an old school friend turns up claiming to have proof that Janey was actually murdered their relaxing holiday by the pool takes a sinister turn.

When Roxanne's body is found before she is able to show anyone her evidence the friends are forced to face reality.

One of them is a murderer, but who is it, what's their motive and who will be their next victim? Cruel Summer is a fantastic thriller that is full of unexpected twists and supported by a great cast of characters.

I did eventually figure out who the murderer was but it wasn't easy and I think I'd suspected pretty much every character at some point during the story.

The author has done a great job of creating a group of friends who all have distinctive personalities, some are more likeable than others but all feel like real people.

The story is told from a couple of different points of view but I have to admit I loved spending time inside Ryan's head the most.

The way he thought of life as a TV show was incredibly amusing and I liked the way he went about adding drama to the story.

Alisha was another complex character though and one I enjoyed getting to know. Another fabulous book from James Dawson and one I'd highly recommend to fans of this kind of teen thriller!

Jul 21, Ellie rated it it was amazing Shelves: young-adult. Ryan, Katie and Ben went their separate ways to university.

Greg has a promising football career ahead of him. And Alisha has been resitting her last year. But putting the past behind them, a reunion is in order and they head of to Spain for two weeks in the sun.

Something the YA community is screaming out for. Ryan likes to describe his life as if it were scripted.

Ryan is pointing them out after all. Hugely entertaining. The narrative keeps you guessing right up until the dramatic climax. What an ending!
