Ms. Rose took a chance with this story and how it was going to be received. When an author takes a step out of her genre, it is always a risk. I think it’s brave and no author should feel pressured to stay within a certain frame."Three parts. Two points of view."I was curious from the very beginning which is great. There is the common theme that many stories have. Opposites attract, good girl, bad boy but there was such a unique twist that I found it refreshing.I can relate to this book a few reasons mostly because I felt like I didn’t really fit in back in high school. I was lucky enough to have those few friends that were special but the dynamic of being seventeen in high school was brutal at times.Our two girls: Skylar and Alexandra. So different but similar in other ways. Each has reasons why they feel like they don’t fit in and are put in situations where they have to acknowledge what they are scared of and step out of their comfort zone.Both girls are pushed by guys that they “shouldn’t” be with to step outside their zones and accept that it’s okay to be different. It’s okay to be yourself.I enjoyed the stories between the girls and their guys but I really liked the relationship that developed between the girls and their relationships with their parents. It’s great to see a story that has parents who their kids love and look up to.This story was sweet and is a must read for every 17 year old girl who could possibly be thinking that they aren’t worth it. All of us are worth it and I wish I could go back in time and give my 17-year-old self a hug and tell her that.~Red (ARC for honest review)[...]
