I received this book in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley.There are good YA Romance books and there are GREAT YA Romance books and this falls into the great category for me. I was immediately drawn in and I was happy to read it. I started reading it last night and finished it today. I told my daughter I would be getting her a copy too. She's sixteen and I think it would be good for her to read. That being said let's move on to plot.The plot is good and at first it's daunting that this girl would just be okay with this stranger but we take into account she is seventeen but she is in no way nave. Hanley is smart and broken and I think that she sees how young Nate is off the bat and that he is somehow broken just like her.The progression of the book was pretty quick so there was never an :oh, hurry up" moment for me it was just all good. Alot of issues are dealt with that kids in our society deal with and it was refreshing. I love the characters too each and every one and if Erin Fletcher were to revisit Hanley and Nate in the future it would get no complaint from me. I like alot about this book. There was really nothing to not like about it.A well written and knowledgeable coming of age story with a thick twisty plot that keeps you on your toes. I say bravo Ms. Fletcher!
