And when a group of student activists challenge the status-quo at Coke High, Coco questions her own values.Meanwhile, Vincente has troubles of his own. Coco's cousin, fencing star Silvino, challenges him to a fencing bout, for which Vincente forgoes because of his personal set of principles.

Really cute and creative teenage love story. I found the idea of Coke and Pepsi High Schools entertaining. Fencing as a competitive sport among the characters was a refreshing change. This was a sweet romance I have no problem recommending for preteens and up. ( )

This is a cute little teenage love story complete with fathers who do not get along and a long time rivalry between the haves and the have nots.

I am not sure how it happened but seems that various places in the city of Toronto have been purchased by big business. So we have Coke high school and Canadian Tire High Park. The name changes were a little unsettling.

Any book that starts out on the ferry from Centre Island is okay in my books. I would recommend this book to all my friends with young daughters. The language was clean and there were no graphic sex scenes. This was a winner in my books.
I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for providing an honest review. ( )

The love story in Love and Cola Wars was a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet. I enjoyed that it portrayed Vincente feeling the same way a girl would feel in that situation, because personally I feel that guys are portrayed with emotions but none where the boy feels shy or like he won't be good enough, so I like how Vincente was more "real". I did like that even once they had started dating, that their relationship was "fresh", they were shy and new around each other with their actions and their words. The story is a cute, light read with a touch of humor that you could probably finish within a few days. I, personally, had trouble putting this book down because I was just captivated by the story-line. The concept of the story itself is really quite interesting because I could, honestly, see it happening, since there's already a battle between which is better: Coke or Pepsi products. The characters were really likable, especially Gabby (Coco's little sister). Although, the secondary characters didn't really have any distinguishable characteristics that set them apart from each other, but I didn't mind that much since they were not involved in the story-line that much. I liked how Vincente (view spoiler). The ending was pretty sweet, because it was (view spoiler). The ending was also great because it didn't leave me with any lingering questions or confusion, which was fantastic! ( )
