The book i have recently read in class is called 'I See You Baby' bu Kevin Brooks and Cathrine Forde.
This book is split between two different authors who are acting a boy and girl. The girl is called Sally Mack and she has a saturday job at her Aunts cafe but she hates it. The boy is called Keith Scullyans he was supposed to be going to a concert with his friends but they don't show up. The both of them met and get to know each other at the backstage of the concert but its not their own passes they have it's someone else's. They have fallen for each other but suddenly they get thrown out because they have been found out their passes are not actually their's. They meet each other at the gates and all they do is kiss each other. They go into Sally's bag and get a different change of clothes. They look really funky. With the passes they originly had they get let back in and they party all weekend. I liked this book because the atmosphere and all the events sounded really good. My favourite character is Sally Mack because she isn't affraid to do anything.
I think this book is suitable for teenagers because it's about teenagers and having a good time and most teens do things like Rock Out.
