Double Negative
Injured competitive swimmer Reece never wanted to be Vice Prez of West Hill High. It was her brother Jamie's idea, just something to do until she could get back into the pool.
She knew that Jamie-who led his campaign with a striptease "election speech"-would be a complete "President Dumbass." But Reece didn't foresee that she'd fall hard for Jamie's Student Council rival, Zain.
Zain is hot and intense, plus an amputee and a basketball star. Between Zain's disability and Reece's surgery, they have their challenges, but that deepens their connection-until he drops a bombshell about his accident. Suddenly, everything important to Reece starts to implode.
Struggling with issues of family loyalty, secrets, and scars, Reece must decide if real relationships are worth the heartache.

In Double Negative we have the main character Reece, who has an injury which means her competitive swimming has halted until it is better. Her brother Jamie runs for student council president, wins and pulls in Reece to be vice president but it seems she is doing all the organising and work, why was Jamie not taking it seriously?
We also have Zain a basketball player, an amputee, who wants to be scouted, and he and Reece’s love story blows hot and cold. Can they get over their differences on the school council and away from it too?
I enjoyed Double Negative, it has the right amount of teenager angst which I am sure every teen has suffered in some form or another. I enjoyed the school council president/VP storyline as we don’t have that in the UK so it is all new to me and very interesting.
Zain was a great character, I felt all the emotions for him, angry, sad, sympathy etc. and I got where he was coming from even though I have not been through what he has.
Jamie was that annoying big brother who speaks before thinking and Reece was a great character, she was very mature for her age, but still a teen and there was a lot of pressure on her from all sides.
Overall, this was a great book, well written and fast-paced. Susan Marshall is a new to me author but I will definitely be looking out for more from her.
