Who says love is easy to find, but as long as we remain open for it, it may arise from the most unexpected places.
The characters from Faking the Grade at Glenbriar High by Margaret Amatt, an author I´ve reviewed on my blog few months ago, is built into impossible relationships. Clara is in love with someone who just gets married with someone else. Sam is a single dad with a very complex and complicated family story. All of them are working at the same school, interacting with each other but their stories may intertwin differently. When Clara accepted to ´fake date´ Sam for the one who stole your heart wedding, it didn´t sound romantic at all. But love may find its way to the most distant hearts.
I got convinced - although hardly - about the story between the two. The author gives space to both characters to grow and build their interest, while explaining their circumstances and challenges. It is not an easygoing story and this pledges in the advantage of the story that sounds relatable.
I liked how it gives love a chance, but not to any price. I also liked the local ambiance, particularly among teachers. It also raises so many important questions regarding adult dating, especially when children and second families are involved.
