Cindy feels she's going to be second-rate all her life. Her older sister Christine has the pretty face, the good body, and gets all the cute boys. Cindy just can't win.
Then in study hall Cindy meets Ron, an ex-basketball star who's the best actor in high school. He's just been chosen to play Romeo in the big production of Romeo and Juliet. Cindy can't believe that Ron's really interested in her, Christine's little sister. But this time it seems she's Number One.
Suddenly, Cindy's hopes for romance and happiness are crushed when Christine is chosen to play the role of Juliet. It seems that Cindy will lose again... unless she can prove to Ron that she's not second best after all.
This is a very good book.
In California, swimming was important and Jennie was determined to be an Olympic competitor. But at her family's new home in Texas, football is all anyone cares about. Jennie is alone, an outsider, "that weird California girl."
Then she meets Mark. He was a football star until a serious injury left him on crutches. Nobody pays much attention to Mark since his accident—except Jennie. She's seen his beautiful drawings and is falling in love with his artistic soul.
Secretly, Jennie enters Mark's drawings in a contest, and overnight Mark has his star status back. But he may be leaving Jennie behind. Jennie is so hurt and confused that she isn't concentrating on her swimming.
Did Mark ever really care for her? Is Jennie losing her love and a chance at her Olympic dream?
This book is overall good.
