Charlotte's life is changed forever when her parents' marriage breaks up, and Charlotte has to leave her beloved house and her old life behind. Then two very different boys cross her path, and a new emotion creeps into her sadness and anger - an emotion that is both confusing and sweet. Charlotte falls in love with Carlo, tries to stay friends with tough-guy Sulzer and faces the jealousy of the cool-girl clique at school. As she watches her parents cope, sometimes haplessly, with changes in their own personal lives, and as she deals with a new baby brother, a potential stepfather and unexpected house moves, she realizes that love is a messy business. If grownups can make such a hash of it, how on earth can a 15-year-old cope? Set in a small town on the Austrian Danube, this is a familiar story that touches a chord with every teenager, told with refreshing emotional honesty. Devoid of judgment, sentimentality, and sexual precociousness, this story about first love shows a strong, curious girl stumbling and prevailing as she figures out how to turn away from the noise of other people's expectations, and listen to her own heart.
