I didn’t think there was any way I would come to like this girl but I think I did come to understand her as the novel went on even though I was never her biggest fan. There’s a scene where, during a pick up game of football, a friend gets a call that his grandmother passed away and the way Charlie dealt with it was terrible. I didn’t really like Charlie in the beginning, she is pretty cold and heartless. In my mind sports novels centred around females have become synonymous with Kenneally’s name, forgive me for the constant comparison. The way that Charlie was developed to be a total tom boy in a man’s world reminded me a lot of a Miranda Kenneally novel. Her mother’s passing left her growing up in a household of 3 brothers (which is basically 4 because of the neighbour boy, Braden, who has become a part of the family over the years.) She’s athletic and has a great sense of humour. This was a sweet, fun read and although I didn’t really swoon as I was hoping to I did get lost in the lives we meet and I was fully engrossed in the story.Ĭharlie lost her mother when she was very young, in lieu of memories she has a box of pictures that she goes through from time to time to keep her mom’s memory fresh in her mind. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high.įun, original, and endearing, On the Fence is a romantic comedy about finding yourself and finding love where you least expect.įor readers looking for the perfect summer read, look no further than On The Fence by Kasie West. As she grows to depend on their nightly Fence Chats, she realizes she's got a bigger problem than speeding tickets-she's falling for Braden. To cope with the stress of her new reality, Charlie takes to spending nights chatting with her neighbor Braden through the fence between their yards.
So when she starts working at a chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world. But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. On The Fence by Kasie WestĬharlie Reynolds can outrun, outscore, and outwit every boy she knows. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from HarperTeen in exchange for an honest review.
