Shacked Up

Kate Cann. Simon Pulse, $5.99 (352pp) ISBN 978-0-689-85906-9

In the sequel to Hard Cash, 17-year-old Rich Steele deals with the challenges of living on his own in Shacked Up by Kate Cann. This soap-operatic installment finds Rich reluctantly taking a roommate, Bonny, into his flat, which is paid for by his benefactors, Barb and Nick (the ad agency boss from the last book). Bonny is on the lam from her manic mother, and Rich is soon embroiled in their mother-daughter drama, as he also deals with duplicitous girlfriend Portia and mends relationships with his own family.
