I liked the book well enough.  And I liked the fact that this was a stand alone.  It's hard to find books that I genuinely like these days that aren't split into serials or that have HUGE cliffhangers.  This book was a sweet read and a story of coming of age and acceptance.Alex, as with all teens is going through a rebellious stage in her life and is sent to the ranch to live with her grandparents after she is caught selling drugs with her boyfriend.SPOILERSThe story unfolds that while on the farm she falls for another guy, but tries to resist the attraction she feels by maintaining a long distance relationship with her boyfriend.I actually liked her boyfriend.  While I am not a fan of drugs myself, I don't think that he was a stone cold loser for this.  The cheating on her however, was another thing.  I probably would have torched his house down, but hey, thats just me.But the development of his character DID have me wanting Alex to forgive him.  When he died I was pretty sad for her.  I wanted better for his character.  Because at the end of the day, he DID love Alex and he WAS trying to better himself for her. So sad :(Anyway.  It was a good read.  Nice time filler.
