The Love of Friends

This book is about a 16 year old girl named Charolette. She moves to London. This 18 year old boy, Oliver Shattuck picks her up from the airport. They begin to become very close friends. Oliver is living with his great-uncle, Commodore Shattuck. Then his great-uncle dies and Oliver must go to live with his mom. He postpones the trip... See what then happends when you read this book. This book was alright. It was okay, nothing special. It was kind of boring at times. It is a little long and confusing. Read this book to find out what you think of it.

The love of Friends is a great book about a girl named Charlotte, who travels to London to visit her close friend,Oliver. Oliver used to live with his uncle in the same town as Charlotte, but when his uncle died his mother brought him to live with her. Olivers parent go out of town and he is suppose to reschudule Charlotte's trip. He dosen't. Charlotte and Oliver sneak off to Scotland to visit a close friend of Olivers uncle, who is dieing from cancer. The is excellent untill the ending where it kind of just stops in middle of an important part. The book would make a lot more a lot more sence if she wrote a sequel.

The Love of Friends is the third book in the 'Charlotte and Oliver' Series, as I call it. This one is undoubtably one of the best. I have read every single book by Nancy Bond, and this is one my top three list. Charlotte goes to visit her friend, Oliver, who has moved to England. She soon learns that Oliver has kept something from her-that Paula,Oliver's mother, had told him to tell her to postpone her visit for a week because of a business trip. He did not. Consequentely, Oliver and Charlotte are alone in Oliver's family's London flat, and Oliver has told Charlotte that he wants to go to Scotland and that he wants her to go with him. A poinient and wonderful tale that touched my heart. A definite MUST READ!

I was immediately drawn into the book and characters. I could also easily relate to both main characters, Charlotte and Oliver. I did think the end was rather blunt. It wasn't the type of heart-pounding romantic ending I was hoping for.
