I read the first book in the series so I wanted to read the second as well., as I knew I’d read about Trina’s experience. I liked the way the author paralleled the story from book 1 to give Trina’s point of view without having to read scenes all over again. If you haven’t read book one, you’ll be perfectly fine reading this book. In this book, we experience a relationship grow between Stewart and Trina. The author does this in a clean, wholesome way. I admired the way Trina sticks to her faith even knowing it might cost her dearly. The author writes a well-structured book and has hit the teen lingo just right. This is part one in Trina’s story. I wonder what happens to her in part two? 🙂

This book is perfect for teens!
It’s about Trina and Stuart – about first loves, friendships, family and what you believe in.
I really enjoyed this sweet and clean YA story.
The book is well written and recommended for teens.

Thinking About Love, Part 1 is the second book in the …
BySara Pucketton September 4, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
Thinking About Love, Part 1 is the second book in the Stonehaven High series that is written by Audrey Rich. I highly recommend reading this book. Trina Weber is a bright junior in high school who is working towards her future plans in the medical field, while balancing time to be able to spend with her friends at any opportunity she may have. The story brings the reader to the end of Trina’s spring break where she is enjoying time with her friends and her twin brother at the beach, where Trina sees a glimpse of a new lifeguard that may spike an interest for her. Throughout Thinking About Love, the reader sees the development of this relationship between Trina and the new lifeguard, as well as some struggles they have with starting out a relationship. Audrey Rich has captured a great insight to the starting of a relationship with teenagers as well as incorporating faith and their beliefs in their relationship. As a reader, I was unable to put Thinking About Love down because I was wanting to continue to read Trina’s story to find out how her new relationship developed. I look forward to reading Audrey Rich’s other book in the Stonehaven High series as well as Thinking About Love, Part 2. For my honest review, I received a copy of this book.

Great for Teenage Girls!
ByAnne Jones on August 24, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
I’m too old for this book, LOL!! 😉 I definitely think young pre-teen girls would enjoy it as it focuses on the nature of friendships, first loves, and the anticipation of college and changes that come with that transition. At first, I had a difficult time keeping all of the characters straight, and I think our protagonist could definitely gain some more maturity in future books! As a Christian, I wished I would have learned more about what her faith meant to her, how it had changed her or helped her in her life. I also wish that she would have been more true to her inner self and less focused on material things/ external appearances/ fitting in with the crowd. However, I know that these are all challenges that high school teens struggle with. I also wish that she wouldn’t treat the object of her affection with so much idolization before she really knows who he is and whether he will ever become a Christian. I think future books in the series may answer this question for us as we learn more about Stuart’s choices and Trina’s relationship with him! All in all, I think it would be a great book for teenage girls to read and then discuss with them afterward and talk about the issues and topics the book raises. The author definitely is in touch with her inner teen girl!! I received a copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest opinion.

A book that got a teenager to read – WOW!
ByMeandthemuttson July 28, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
This review is based on my thoughts and those of a teenage family member who also read the story.
I knew from the outset this book was aimed at the YA market, but nonetheless felt the summary could reach across all age groups. I wasn’t wrong – it’s a thoughtful read, looking at how a young girl sees her life playing out before her, only for the dream ‘Gorgeous guy’ to not fit her plans as she hoped and expected.
For me, the start was a little drawn out – but, my teenage reader – who, by the way, hardly ever reads a book – loved it. All that teenage angst and pressure was very realistic for her. She loved the characters and could relate them to her own peer group. She’s asked me to get any more books by this author too – so kudos to you, Audrey Rich – you may have converted her to reading.
I accept I’m not the intended audience, and despite that I still enjoyed the story. The setting was lovely, the antics at time funny and the drama very well adapted. A refreshing read.

This is a great story for teenage girls 27 July 2017
By Kelly – Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition
This is a great story for teenage girls! The characters are well drawn and the situations very real to life. I felt like I knew each one of them personally and got caught up in their activities and their thoughts. Trina became almost a daughter to me as I read. In this day and age of violence and horror, it is refreshing to read about young people with strong moral convictions and actions. I am looking forward to reading more about these teenagers’ lives and loves.

This is Audrey Rich’s 2nd book in her Stonehaven High collection. I read the first book, Masquerading Our Love, and enjoyed it very much. Her 2nd book is a wonderful addition. The author does an excellent job in building the relationship among the two main characters, Trina and Stuart. An unlikely couple with strong convictions, come together. After a short courtship, their relationship is tested. But it crumbles as each one holds onto their values. As in her last book, the book was beautifully written. It is a perfect, very clean YA. I will definitely be buying the author’s next book in the series!
