TRIPLE SHOT BETTYS IN LOVE

The Triple Shot Bettys—Geena, Amber and Hero—are back, serving up frothy lattes and falling in love, but this time their relationships are heating up and about to boil over (Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty, 2008). This time the focus is on Geena, a skater-girl who isn’t comfortable being a “girlfriend” especially as she and her boyfriend, Ben, wade into new territory that leaves Geena wondering if he is interested in her body or her brains. To further complicate matters, Geena finds herself drooling over Mr. Sands, the intellectual doctoral candidate who takes over her English class. However, Amber provides the real twist when her infatuation with Mr. Sands quickly puts her in over her 16-year-old head. Hero plays a minor role this time, sending her sage advice from boarding school. Geena’s spunky voice will draw both returning and new readers into the girls’ tight circle, which, despite some relationship woes, manages to stay entertaining and upbeat. (Fiction. YA)
