Despite its very promising premise, "Heartthrob" fails to live up to its potential.

The plot opens on chronic do-gooder Sam Morrison, who, with the help of long-time pal Mike Lindley, convinces her parents to allow her to add candy striper to her long list of service-oriented extracurricular activities. Complications arise when Sam clashes with a handsome, mysterious patient known only as Bill Smith, and buddy Mike grows jealous of all the attention Sam is forced to give to Bill.

If all of this sounds a little convoluted, that's probably because it is. While it may be possible to overlook the uneven pacing and the contrived, one-dimensional characters, this novel is ultimately doomed by its anti-climactic and somewhat disappointing ending.

I love stories about best friends turning into something more and this is a very good example of this. The story is very sweet and you'll really enjoy this a lot. Sweet Dreams is the best teen series and I highly recommend everything else in the series. If you like this story, you might also like Blame It On Love, Fair-Weather Love, Wrong-Way Romance, BAckstage Romance, Partners In Love, The Trouble With Charlie and a lot more! Enjoy reading!
