I am very torn on how to review this book. I really enjoyed the story line and loved the character, Grant. I did not, however, like the way the story ended. Spoiler alert....I was VERY disappointed in the way the abuse by the boyfriend was just swept under the rug and nothing was done about it. To me this sends a very bad message, especially to young girls who may be reading this book. The abusive boyfriend put her in the HOSPITAL and nothing was done about it!!!! No charges were pressed! At the very least the father or the boyfriend should have confronted him and done something about it. I had a hard time liking the book at all after this. I can't say enough how disappointing it was that a bigger deal wasn't made to send a message about what a serious issue this is. I would not reccomend this book based on the horrible message it sends.
