About this ebook
There are two sides to every story and this new series, BACK-2-BACK, is designed to attract both boys and girls. Teenagers will love to read what she really thinks about him and what he really thinks about her!
Natasha’s story – she’s 15 and still at school and lives across the street from super cool Matt who’s just moved in. He’s into blading and he’s going out with a stylish girl from his college and plays loud music the whole time. And does he even notice she exists?
Matt’s story – he’s 17 and is not as cool as he’d like to be, and college is pretty rough. Music is his real passion and getting some DJ work at the club is great. He really likes the look of the cute babe in the house opposite, but he always seems to be in trouble with her parents, and she turns away whenever they meet…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Two points of view.This was the second Back 2 Back novel by Chloe Rayban that I had read and I rated it marginally higher than the first. It's a great idea having both the boy's and the girl's view of a budding relationship - one reading from one cover, the other from the reverse cover. This time I read them concurrently, flipping the book periodically to update from the other point of view. Matt is 19 and has moved in to number 25, Frensham Avenue, London; a derelict property that has been unoccupied for quite a while. He starts his A Levels at West Thames College, a rather wild place that differs drastically from his all-boys grammar school in Stroud.His great love is music, loud and heavy on the base. He spots a gorgeous girl living in the house opposite, but she's surely way out of his league?? Natasha (Tasha), 17, can't believe that the house opposite ('the spook house') seems to have been occupied by a squatter, a pretty good-looking one, at that. But he's super-cool and attends West Thames College, a far cry from her all-girl's school with its grey uniform. Her over protective dad doesn't help either.I guess the outcome is pretty predictable but it was a quick read and kept my interest. Published in 1999, it predates mobile phones and no doubt the music scene is dated too, but that was not necessarily a disadvantage.It seems that Ms Rayban only wrote 2 of these Back 3 Back novels, which is a shame as it could have developed into a genre of its own.Fun for a holiday read.
