Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward
5.0
This book didn't let me do housework for an entire day! Loved the story and the characters! Greta lived with her mother and stepfather. She didn't meet her stepbrother until one day he came to spend senior year of high school. He had a horrible relation with his father and he was quite horrid to Greta and disrespectful to Greta's mom. Even so, Greta tried to be nice because she saw through the bad attitude to the pain beneath. Little by little they improved to hanging together. Even so, Elec refused to explain why he and his father acted like they hated each other.
Elec was hot and Greta was very attracted but since she detected some rejection from him, she refrained from acting on the attraction. I don't want to spoil it so will only say that things get more involved and a lot of heartfelt emotions develop. At one moment in the story I actually ached for Greta. I loved her character, she was kind, straightforward, caring, and so very noble. Elec was conflicted, but once he got over his nastiness he was playful and considerate. The second part of the book kept me riveted, hoping for a good ending and hoping it would not be a cliffhanger. Great reading!
