Nice little story that helped pass the time.Zoey by all outside appearances is a tough little chica. She doesn't like to get emotionally involved and puts up a hard candy shell with everyone she interacts with. Behind closed doors she has to be the go to girl. Her mother has mentally checked out and her father is always gone working put Zoey as the step in mother for her four younger siblings.Matt is the All American typical small town hero. In front of everyone he feels like he has to out up an act and never shows his true self. With problems of his own at home and internally he has learned to tow the line.While on a school trip to Paris Zoey and Matt connected. Although they walk in two completely opposite circles they find comfort in each other. Zoey being her typical self right away puts it out there to Matt that this is only a Paris hook up and once they land state side they go back to their regular life.... Without each other.Needless to say neither one of them was able to stay away for each other. Matt not quite understanding this need just wasn't able to let Zoey go and kept coming up with excuses to see her. Matt would push the envelope and try his best to get past Zoeys she'll and get to know her. Zoey tried her best to just keep their relationship on a hook up status only but failing miserably.  Zoey being the ever present tough girl fought him every step of the way. Only agreeing to see him outside of school. Slowly they just couldn't fight their feelings any longer.Although I like the story I just wished there was more to it. There was some talking moments but not nearly enough. being able to see both POVs, I was able to see how Zoey was coming to her the conclusion of her feelings for Matt. But Matt would keep saying he was fine with her just wanting his bidy as a distraction. I felt like I was left with so many questions. Why was Matt getting those migraines? How did Zoeys mom get the way she was? How did the school react to their new relationship? So many other questions that needed answered. And could go through another good editing. These was some grammar errors and at times I'd have to back up and reread so I understood what was suppose to be written. It was a bit distracting.All in all it was a sweet YA book.
