I totally fell in love with this book. It was intense, dramatic, romantic, heart wrenching & funny at times. I seriously didn't want to put it down. This story is about a girl who has her life planned out ahead of her and then realizes things don't always go as planned when her heart is shredded to pieces. Riley Walker knows what she wants & goes for it. She's an English major at Rinard College, has a good job at Barton's Bar & a boyfriend who loves her...or at least she thought he did until he decided he was bored with the relationship & dumped her. She was heart broken. Then she decided she felt like doing something totally not her.Garrett Bellows has no life plans as he likes to live day to day. He's the lead guitarist in the local band, Generation Rejects. Garrett is usually seen drunk or high throwing big parties at his house. He works hard not to become attached to anyone until he meets Riley. For some reason, he's drawn to this sarcastic, frustrating, rude, beautiful girl.There is a lot of drama in this book. many times I wanted slap Riley upside the head to wake her up so she could see that sometimes living in the now was ok. You don't always need a plan. Garrett tried, but she was stubborn. Garrett won my heart with how sweet he could be under that bad boy persona. Yes, Riley was a pain sometimes & yes I wanted to scold her for being mean, but what's a book without a little drama. This book made me laugh, made me sympathize with some characters, heck I even shed some tears during one episode, but that's how I like my books. It draws you in where you can feel what the characters are feeling. I was sad when it ended because I wanted more Garrett. However, I was happy to hear that there will be another book coming in the future. Thank you A. Meredith Walters for another great book!
