The First Move | Jenny Ireland

1 post | 1 read

Juliet believes girls like her -- girls with arthritis -- don't get their own love stories. She exists at the edges of her friends' social lives, preferring to play online chess. There, she isn't just 'the girl with crutches'. Ronan is good looking, smart, a bad boy plagued by guilt over what happened to his brother. Chess Life is his escape. At school, Juliet thinks Ronan thinks someone like Ronan could never be interested in someone like her -- and she wouldn't want him to be anyway. His attitude stinks. But little do they know they have more in common than they think, and everybody deserves a love story...

The First Move | Jenny Ireland

pick

Jenny Ireland‘s debut YA romance has a well drawn female main character and does a great job of showing what it‘s like to live with arthritis. However Juliet‘s relationship with Tara interested me more than the romance with Ronan, mainly because Ronan‘s backstory didn‘t ring as emotionally true with his relationship with his mother in particular feeling undercooked. That said I enjoyed reading this and will happily check out Ireland‘s next book.
