Single-handed Single Girls Book One (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
What a lovely YA love short story. I am so going to have my daughter read this. It has so many endearing qualities. Like the purity of young love, championing good over evil, sticking up for the underdog & friendship. Most of all about being a young woman who can be powerful in her own right strong enough to beat up the boys but soft enough to remember she still a girl & can have feelings & emotions of a true woman & allow a man to be a man also. Give & take a couple. Alex is different than most girls in her school. She has a brown belt in jujitsu and she pinned the school bully to the pavement for picking on another student. A safer school has its perks, but now the boys at school are afraid of her. So much that she hasn't been asked to the prom.New hottie in town, Tommy, has been friendly but shows no sign he's feeling the same sparks for her that she feels for him. When Alex's friends step in and finagle a coffee date between Tommy and her, can Alex show Tommy that tough girls want love, too?Short and sweet, this was a cute contemporary Young Adult story. I'm looking forward to the next two stories in Veronica Blade's Single Girls micro-trilogy! :)
