'You did WHAT?' screamed Mari. 'You turned down the cutest boy ever? Are you crazy?'

Fliss isn't exactly outgoing. But on stage she really comes alive.
And this summer, she's playing Juliet opposite her dream Romeo - Tom Mayerling. If only she could tell him how she feels!

But unless Fliss finds some inner confidence, she's going to miss her chance with Tom.
Because someone else has her eyes on Fliss's role - and her leading man . . .

The first title in a brand-new exciting series. For all fans of Cathy Cassidy and Jacqueline Wilson - Sweet Hearts follows a huge cast of girls and their friendships, families and first loves!

Reviews
This whole confection is perfect for those who love to suspend disbelief in cliche close-clinches with the surety of a safe liaison eventually -- Chris Brown * School Library Association *
A fun, light-hearted read about friends and school days. Encore! * tBK *
It's a quick, enjoyable read set against the backdrop of a Romeo and Juliet theatre production, and is one of those books that sunny summer days were invented for. . . . When I need a feel-good read, I know what I'll be turning to * Wondrous Reads *
Star Crossed is a light-hearted and gentle start to the Sweet Hearts series. The Romeo and Juliet scenes are a lovely touch, and I'm pretty sure that readers who haven't seen or read the classic play will be intrigued once they've seen it brought to life by Tom and Fliss * I Was a Teenage Book Geek *
An entertaining story about first love, growing into your own skin and friendship. Fun and swiftly paced, I think this will appeal to fans of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries series. This is a book I would have been besotted with at the age of eleven * The Bookette *
