Other editions of book That Girl

Kim’s not the sort of girl who stresses out – usually. But with her sixteenth birthday party coming up, she’s suddenly in panic mode. What if no one turns up? What if friends from different groups don’t get along? What if her overly-anxious stepfather – convinced that teenage parties lead to alcoholism and orgies – ruins everything?It’s not as though there’s anything else on her mind. Definitely not anything to do with her boyfriend, Eddie, who’s absolutely perfect for her – an actual knight in shining armour (he even takes fencing lessons). And most definitely not anything to do with her brother’s best mate Michael, who knows her too well to ever look at her as more than just a friend . . . right?Originally published by Poolbeg Press in 2007, That Girl is now available in a digital edition for the first time.

Kim's not normally the kind of girl who worries too much, but there's something about her upcoming sixteenth birthday celebration that's stressing her out. Is it that she knows parties aren't easily predictable and can turn into disasters Her concern of having different groups of people encounter each other for the first time Could it be the fact that one by one her friends seem to be abandoning her party for a concert or, in the case of her older brother, a night out with his new girlfriend Or her parents' insistence on hovering over everyone all night long Or could it possibly be the minor detail of her growing attraction to her brother's friend, someone she's known since she was a kid, someone who understands her the way very few people do, and someone who she really shouldn't find herself kissing on the night of the party After all, her boyfriend is really not going to be thrilled about that...
