KISS. CRUSH.COLLIDE. de CHRISTINA MEREDITH

Lecture en VO.

Synopsis:
KISS
What Leah did - only she really shouldn't have - one hot night at a country club party.
CRUSH
What Leah has - only she really shouldn't have - on the guy with the green eyes, the guy who is not her boyfriend, the guy who does not fit in her picture-perfect life, the guy her sisters will only mock and her mother will never approve of. Not in a million years.
COLLIDE
What happens when everything you always thought you wanted - having cool friends, being class valedictorian and homecoming queen - runs smack into everything it turns out you do really want.



Mon avis:
Leah est la 3ème d'une famille de 3 soeurs. Toutes sur le modèle de leur mère. Parfaites. Rien ne dépasse. L'attitude parfaite, les vêtements parfaits, les études parfaites, les petits-copains parfaits. Et tout cela validé par la mère... Ça ne laisse pas beaucoup de place à la personnalité. Cerise sur le gâteau, Yorke, la plus âgée, annonce que son parfait petit-ami vient de la demander en mariage... alors même que Freddie, la 2ème, part pour la France à la fin de l'été pour y étudier pendant 1 an. Leah a son propre petit ami parfait: Shane. Shane est le sportif parfait avec les cheveux parfaits, le sourire parfait et la voiture parfaite. Et surtout, il est parfaitement validé par la mère de Leah.
Comme chaque vendredi soir, ils vont tous dîner au club dont le père de Leah est membre. Un jeune homme va garer la voiture de Roger, le futur marié.
Leah décide d'aller prendre l'air pendant le repas. Elle se sent à l'étroit dans toute cette perfection. Elle se retrouve sur le parcours de golf et Porter, le voiturier, passe à coté d'elle dans la voiture de Roger.... Et avant qu'on ait pu comprendre, ils s'embrassent comme des affamés sur le green. Et ce baiser est troublant. Il ne ressemble pas aux baisers de Shane. Et d'ailleurs Shane a dû attendre beaucoup plus longtemps avant d'avoir eu le droit de toucher ses seins....
Le lendemain, c'est le 1er jour de l'été, le lycée s'est fini. Leah reprend son job d'été, pour le plus grand malheur de sa mère, à la piscine. Quelques jours plus tard, alors qu'elle se rend à pied à la piscine, une voiture passe et s'arrête... Porter est au volant.

Leah est une jeune fille qui ne pense pas avoir de problème majeur. Sa vie est facile, elle a 2 meilleures amies, une famille unie, le petit ami parfait. La seule chose qu'elle ose imposer à sa mère, c'est son job à la piscine. Mais voila, être la 3ème et voir que son avenir est tout tracé commence à la travailler sérieusement. Apparemment, elle n'a pas le droit de sortir des sentiers battus. Elle devra suivre le même chemin que ses soeurs, que sa mère. Et quand Porter rentre dans sa vie, tout va être remis en question. Il va faire que tout DOIT être remis en question!

Porter va montrer la vie et le monde sous un angle différent. Il l'emporte dans des promenades sans jamais lui dire où ils vont, toujours dans une voiture différente... Elle ne sait pas grand chose de lui. Elle ne sait même pas où il habite ou qui sont ses parents. Mais rien n'a d'importance. A côté de lui, son coeur bat fort et vite, son esprit se libère. Elle n'est plus la 3ème de la famille, la fille en rose, mais Leah Johnson.

J'ai aimé l'histoire, j'ai aimé Leah et Porter, mais il m'a manqué un peu plus de romance, chose que le titre semblait promettre, dans le sens où finalement Porter n'est pas souvent là. Il brille même par son absence ;-)))) On est dans la tête de Leah, on ressent toutes ses émotions, son coeur qui bat, sa tristesse, sa frustration. Mais, on ne voit pas assez Porter à mon goût. Et pourtant tout ce qui se passe, se passe pour lui, à cause de lui. Il est là sans l'être, et j'aurais aimé le voir un peu plus....

Ce livre est sorti en 2012 donc pas de date prévue pour le moment pour une éventuelle sortie en français, mais vous pouvez feuilleter les premières pages sur Amazon pour tenter le VO...

  1. Tout me faisait envie : la couverture, le titre, ta chronique... jusqu'à ce que tu déplores l'absence de Porter et de romance. Alors, bon, j'hésite du coup (surtout que c'est de la VO et que je n'en ai encore jamais tenté).

  2. Idem que Marilyne, tout me plaisait jusqu'à ce que tu dise que Porter n'était pas assez la! LOL!! 
    Donc je pense que j'attendrai une éventuelle sortie VF plutôt =)

  3. Jamais deux sans trois, je regrette aussi l'absence de romance mais outre ce point il a l'air bien. Peut-être en VF...

    what about this? suppose you added a little content? I ain't suggesting your content isn't good, but suppose you added a headline that grabbed people's attention? I mean "KISS.

    headlines to get viewers interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people
    interested about what you've written. In my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.
