Prissy teen battles the Australian outback
Not the strongest effort by the usually stellar Janet Quin-Harkin, "Lovebirds" still manages to entertain.

Narrator Tiffany Johns somehow masters that great feat of any literary character - undergoing a dramatic transformation and yet still ending up just as annoying as she was at the outset.The early Tiffany, a snotty, superficial brat whose greatest concerns are clothes, makeup, and a date to the winter formal, is forced to rethink her priorities when her mother remarries and sends her off to stay with her brother and her sloppy, outdoorsy, documentary producing father in the Australian outback for a few weeks.Naturally, city girl Tiffany immediately clashes with the Australian guide, Bruce Dawson, the son of the expedition's millionaire backer.And, even more predictably, as Tiffany learns to eschew her former interests, she and Bruce grow much closer.

What never quite rings true is the novel's conclusion, in which Tiffany decides she wants to live with her easy-going pop in California instead of returning home to New York to her high-strung mommy.But, since both parents are presented merely as caricatures, Tiffany's sudden transformation and complete rejection of her mother and her lifestyle and embracing of her father's seems forced and hollow. ...
