It's 1989. And this is a story, about two very VERY different teens. And that's pretty much all you need to know.

Debbie is a country-club rich girl, with her perfect 'android' boyfriend and little family, starring herself as the centre of their universe. At least, that's who she was.

Joe is your typical infuriating, good looking, leather-jacket wearing guy who resents everything that Debbie stands for. You know, the petty rich kids that have it all.

If you were to see the Heartbreak from the outside, you wouldn't think of it as any more than a run-down, possible biker hangout, shack. And yet, for so many it's a home. For many others, it's even more than that. The Heartbreak is where they learn lessons; lessons about love, life and themselves!

I loved No Experience Required. It was absolutely realistically brilliant! I loved how, throughout the book, there was more than one element going on: the inevitable chemistry between Joe and Debbie, Debbie's ever-changing family life, the whole gang at the Heartbreak and even how to make proper patties and take orders in your head!

My favourite character was Joe! I loved how Quin Harkin managed to retain who he was as a person through the book, and not suddenly turn him into a lovesick, jealous person. All in all, I'm SO looking forward to part two!

Oh, and 5 stars!!
