On
a Night Like This
By Ellen Sussman
It's
time for a high school reunion and Luke Bellingham has the misfortune
of looking for the lost members of his high school class. In his
search, he rediscovers his classmate, Blair Clemens. In high school,
they ran in different crowds. Blair was the quiet misfit while Luke
was one of the most popular kids. Luke becomes intrigued with Blair
when he rediscovers her. Can they get past their differences and
become friends? On a Night Like This is the debut for Ms.
Sussman and if her follow-ups are anything like this one, she will
have a very successful career as an author. Ms. Sussman creates
two likeable characters and allows the reader to feel for each of
them on their own bearings. The reader can tell how anxious Luke
is feeling about being reunited with one of the misfits, Blair.
The story line is simple but adds so many dimensions to it. On
a Night Like This is not dull and can be enjoyed by the harshest
of critics. This reader encourages Ms. Sussman to continue writing
and looks forward to reading more by her.
