Have you ever read a book that you couldn’t speed read, you took your time, and when you finished you really had no other words than wow? That’s where I am right now with Because of Ellison. This book felt so real. You go through every emotion with the characters as you read, it was amazing!Hunter is a nineteen year old who comes from money and uses it for things he enjoys doing…basically drugs and sex. He’s considered a genius, so school comes very easy to him and helps keep his parents off his back. He gets the monthly lecture about how to be responsible/stay out of trouble from them but he knows the drill and knows nothing more will happen. Hunter really doesn’t have any drive in life, he lives to party. His girlfriend Tiffany is a bitch, I disliked her immediately but I guess she is your typical rich, spoiled brat stereotype. After Hunter’s car ends up in the bottom of his family’s swimming pool his parents decide to ship him off to Florida to live with his Uncle Bill and cousin Lily with nothing but his clothes… no technology, no car, no time to tell anyone he’s leaving, he’s on a plane and gone.Once Hunter arrives in Florida the first thing he notices is the rundown house that he is told he will be helping clean up. He knows his summer is going to suck, that is until he meets Lily’s best friend Ellison. Ellison is awesome! I love her feistiness, her attitude, everything about her really. She doesn’t go easy on Hunter in any way. She puts him in his spot several times leaving Hunter to stare at her… he gets a creepy stalker nickname very fast. I died of laughter during the first two days of them meeting. Hunter is not use to girls like Ellison; in fact Hunter isn’t use to too much outside of partying. Ellison opens up to Hunter, and Hunter opens up to her, something neither of them normally do and it is heart clenching good. I really don’t know how else to explain it. I love how these two interact,how they grow and everything in between. I just love this book period.If you are looking for something outside of the normal box, pick up this book. Hold on tight because it is an emotional roller coaster from the Prologue that had me thinking “What the heck did I get myself into” until the end that had me just in awe. This book is about REAL life, taking chances and living. I know my review is really vague but you need to find out all the good, bad and ugly on your own.  BEO will be high up on my 2014 list and this year just started. M.S. Willis you have a new fan with me! This was my first book from you but I will be reading more!
