Such a wonderful and beautiful novella about Erin, a girl who was a target of bullying. She had that quiet determination and intelligence where she avoided trouble, but didn't let the teasing dampen her spirit. Although she grew up with a neglectful mom and wasn't born into privilege like a lot of her peers, she works hard to earn her success. Weston, the guy who has captured Erin's attention, is the one who develops the most in this story. He goes from being the guy who blends with the crowd to standing up for what is right. Weston and Erin have great conversations, it is reminiscent of the sweeter side of high school. Erin hasn't had much good fortune in her life but that all changed in a huge way for her. I adored how Weston was partly shy, but also honest, with her. There's a lot of ugliness surrounding the bullying issue, but otherwise it's a feel-good story due to Erin's strength.
