Skylarks by Karen Gregory

After birthday celebrations at a restaurant for her brother, Jack, Joni first spots Annabel. As Joni learns Annabel has joined the library too to work, the pair get closer forcibly but soon learn they're completely opposite in their way of life.

Joni's family and their home is threatened while Annabel lives in a huge home with plenty of cash for boarding school available, not that Annabel liked boarding school. Both of them may be studying for A Levels, but Joni and her family have a petition to see through about saving their home after her parents have already lost their jobs, but can they get more signatures and involvement with their petition in time?

Joni has experienced being with a girl before while Annabel had never acted upon her feelings. Until now that is.

Unfortunately, by part three I had predicted what was going to happen but it's not to say the story wasn't great at all as it was and went how I wanted it to go sadly! I understand the Skylark was a symbolism of their freedom and love also with how they recreated and became alike them themselves through their actions. Utterly brilliant plot and refreshing to see lesbian relationships unjudged in teen fiction for once too by the characters parents.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
