Sarah Marriott: Believe Me, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Two points of view. Which one is the truth?

Paige When fifteen year old Paige starts work experience, she's anxious about fitting in. So when she meets twenty-one year old Mark and they click, she's very much relieved. As they spend more time together, she realises they have a lot in common, so when other people in her life start to let her down, she finds herself increasingly drawn to his company. However, whilst she might just be looking for a friend to help her through her problems, it becomes clear that Mark is looking for more. As circumstances continue to draw them together, it becomes clear to Paige she ought to pull away from her friendship with Mark; he wants more than she's willing to give. But with her life spiralling and her feeling increasingly alone, will she decide to break away from him before it becomes too late?

Mark Mark's been single since his break up with Becky and has found it hard to get back out on the dating scene. He was hurt more than he'd ever admit and is tired of his best friend Travis, always asking when was the last time he got laid. So when the new girl Paige starts at work, Mark thinks he might have another chance at love. She's young, but mature and Mark thinks she's the perfect person to help him get out of his dry patch The problem is, Paige seems to want to play games- always blowing hot and cold. She seeks him out, draws him in, but then at the last minute she pulls away. He knows she's struggling to deal with some issues and so he's willing to put the work in and be patient, but he won't allow himself to be her fool. Will he break away from her before it becomes too late?
