After getting into trouble in Toronto, Ontario seventeen year old Anastasia is sent to live with her grandparents in the small town of Cedar Falls, a place where she spent the summers when she was younger. It's a fresh start, just what she needs and of course there's a unbelievably good looking boy so what could possibly go wrong.This is the first book I've read by this author and yes while I'm aware that the target audience is much younger than me I do read a lot of young fiction, one of my favourite series being 'Girls Wearing Black' by Spencer Baum.I have to say I struggled with this book, especially at first, everything seemed off, people's reactions and looks and comments, it's hard to describe but it just didn't seem right. All I could think at first was that a spell had been put over the town making everyone act weird, obviously that's not the case but the main reason I continued reading was to find out what on earth was going on apart from the obvious, but it turns out it was just the obvious. The behaviour Anastasia receives at school is so OTT in places I just couldn't make sense of it, now this is obviously not the book for me I found it very slow going in places and like I said the people are all weird, talk about jumping to conclusions it could be a town sport. When I'd finished the book all I could think was 'ok' so like I said it's not the book for me and I'm obviously not the target audience maybe younger readers would relate more and get more out of the story.
