Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 3, 2013
Jay gets in trouble and is assigned to do youth work at an equine stable where he meets Anna. Never has he met someone he's more drawn to or makes him want to be a better person so much. He'd do anything to protect her.Anna's parents are trying to make her into someone she isn't. Why can't they try to understand her just a little, instead of trying to make her into their ideal of what a daughter of their social standing should be. Jay understands her better than anyone, regardless of the fact he's from a rough, impoverished background and her family has money. She'd do anything to be with him, but her family is determined to keep them apart.This was a sweet, gritty story of young love, but there was way too much profanity and some sex, although Anna was just fifteen and Jay sixteen. Some profanity might be understandable, due to the rough background Jay had grown up in, but everyone used it. I counted 198 times. The story itself was interesting and Jay and Anna loveable. There is not an ever-after ending for the teen-agers (which is understandable at their ages), but there is somewhat of a happy one, and I think the story may continue in another book. The possibility is certainly there.
