‘The Wrong Boy’ by Suzy Zail

wrong boyHanna is the girl who fell in love with ‘the wrong boy’ who made her feel like the only girl in the world yet there is so much behind that smile on his face that pulls her in so tightly.

Does this sound like a book for you? Are you into love stories that are backed up with a bit of thrill? Well if you are, then this is a book for you.

The girl behind this love story lives in a place named the Ghetto but six weeks after living there Hanna and her family are forced to move out. Hanna gets played and soon realizes that love can play an awful amount of games with your head and that love isn’t always what it is like on the movies. Erika, who is Hanna’s little sister, doesn’t just sit back and watch them kick her family out, she fights back and sticks up for what she believes in. Erika is known to be bold and take leadership when needed. She loves to be honored and to have attention. Hanna’s mum is a quiet, polite woman who sits back and watches her life flash before her. She doesn’t stand up for what she wants or thinks is right. She believes that everyone should get what they want before her and that they all mean so much more than what she is worth. Hanna’s dad isn’t the typical muscly ‘stand up for his family’ kind of dad. He is slim with an edge of petrifying feeling going through his body when his family gets kicked out of the Ghetto.

This book was very interesting and exciting to read because of the thrilling yet very romantic scenes in it. It described the way that a girl falls in love yet can fall in love the wrong way and with the wrong boy. This book is very suitable for ages from 11-20 depending on what kind of person you are. If you are into romance and mild thrill then you will love this book because it has a lot of romance in it yet the romance in this book is very twisted and the thrill can only be imagined by one person with great imagination that can read between the lines of a book. I would definitely read this book again if I got asked to.
