i couldn't put this book down. seriously! read it non-stop from 4.30pm to 7pm at library@orchard. thank god i'm a speed-reader.


>> megan holloway, a texan teen, decides to work at an amusement park for the summer.

the perks include being far away from her quarrelling to-be-married sister and mother, an independent life with new roommates and a whole lot of new experiences. unfortunately, this means she has to leave her 3-month long relationship with boyfriend nick to weather long-distance AND the possibility of summer flings.
lo-and-behold, (how could you not expect this) she meets mr. super-hot co-worker who has, damnit, a great personality. what's a girl to do...


yours truly says:
rachel hawthorne's Thrill Ride maybe a light read, but be ready to laugh out loud, smile to yourself, and be thrown on the best rollercoaster in life - to fall in love. definitely fits snugly in the category of 'Romantic Comedy', you know the awesome twosome are gonna get together, and still you want to find out how and when. highly recommended for those who feel love long distance wouldn't work, or is just too far away --- sometimes love is closer than you think.

ownability: borrow from the library, or own it if you want an awesome perk-me-up.

i borrowed it home; to be returned 1st june. if you'd like to take a read, drop me a tag or call me! i miss your voices! (:
