New Review! Decide by Michelle Irwin, 4 Cranky Stars

This is the first book I have read by this author.  I love how she was able to write it from Declan’s point of view, let alone a teenage boy.  

The story takes place in Australia, so prepare to familiarize yourself with the local dialect. 

Declan and Alyssa have been best friends since they were young, then one day while playing a game of cards as they usually do, thing change when a kiss happens.  

Their parents are not surprised that they are finally dating, but the last two years of high school are not easy and their relationship experiences many ups and downs.

Alyssa doesn’t believe in Declan’s dream of being a race car driver and compete in the ProV8 Championship Series.  

She finds cars and racing boring and thinks he should got to college first so he has a back up when racing doesn’t happen.  

To Declan he wants to race while he is young and has the opportunity and not become rusty while in college.  What will Declan decide to do, follow his racing dream or be with the girl he loves?

This wasn’t your typical boy and girl that are friends from kids that cross over to become more than friends in a sense that things are not easy for them and they have many break-ups and don’t see their futures the same. 

It is the start of a series and we get to know Declan and Alyssa in their younger years.  Where the story is going to go, I can’t wait to find out.
