Synopsis
Suzy Green used to be one of the coolest nonconformist "almost-Goth" party girls in Australia. That was before her older sister Rosie died and her family moved to a new town. Not even her best friend would recognize her now. Gone are the Doc Martens and the attitude. All she wants is to be like Rosie - perfect. The new Suzy Green makes straight A's, hangs with the in-crowd at her new school, and dates the hottest guy around. And since all her new friends belong to a virginity club, she joins, too. So what if she's not technically qualified? Nobody in town knows...until Ryan, Suzy's ex, turns up. As the past and present collide, Suzy struggles to find her own place in a world without her sister.

Customer Reviews

A fabulous feelgood novel
This book is full of humour and engrossing twists. The characters are brilliant, especially Suzy and her best friend from home Maddie, and you quickly feel as if you know them. It was great to see Suzy adapting to her new environment. I loved her honesty - her descriptions of her classmates as Stepford students, the way she admitted to being unable to recognise herself and 'missing the kicks' even when she was desperately trying (and largely managing) to fit in with the new crowd. There was loads of page-turning intrigue and some sad moments, too.

Highly recommended!

Suzy's changed her tune. Gone is the former wild child who dressed all in black and got into trouble nearly every day. Instead, she's trying to become more like her sister, Rosie, who just died. She doesn't want her parents to worry anymore.

A change in location lets Suzy start over. Soon she's made friends with popular girls, but things here are very different from back home. For one thing, it's popular to belong to the V-club. Technically, Suzy's not a virgin, but what her new friends don't know can't hurt her, right?

Just as soon as her life is starting to settle down and she's accepted into this new and strange world, her past catches up with her. Can she still be accepted for who she really is, or will she lose herself in this new town?

With THE SECOND VIRGINITY OF SUZY GREEN, author Sara Hantz has written a moving novel about a girl trying to make over her soul without losing herself in the process.
