Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 12, 2013
Courtney is a high school senior who is coming out of a freaky, mentally abusive relationship. Her ex is a cheater and a control freak, but, my God, it is so hard to pull away from someone like that. I know... I’VE BEEN THERE! She is trying to regain her self-respect, her strength, and her life. And, then, along comes Jaxon Vaughn… yummy, sexy Jaxon Vaughn. He’s a bit of a puzzle, and I (metaphorically) want to do him. (OK, metaphorically and literally...) He’s sweet but complicated, easily frustrated and suspicious, but deep and warm. He looks out for Courtney, gives her what she needs, even when that means pulling himself away.With both Jaxon and Courtney, I was often back and forth between ‘Nooooooo! Don’t do that!’ to ‘OMFG, yes! Do that!!!’ Courtney will make you crazy at times, but, holy smokes, considering everything she went through, I can relate! I think it is real and accurate for her age! I loved the humor in Kendra, the ‘big brother’ in Reed. And the end... Holy effing hell!I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone who likes a hot and angsty young/new adult novel!
