Full of romance, secrets and rivalries, The Love Bean weaves two compelling
stories of four teenage twin girls across time, location and race.
Twins: they like the same things. But that can cause problems. Especially where boys are concerned. When Tito, a tall handsome African, walks into Lydia and Julia's lives, it turns every relationship upside down. Then there's the 'twinny book' - The Curiosity Tree. It's about Sun'va and Eva: they're twins too. And a boy has just sailed into their lives, causing
havoc. Romance mirrors romance, jealousy mirrors jealousy - is their story destined to repeat itself?.
Two compelling stories of love … and resentment.
