Spoiler Alert contains spoilers of the story.I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review for the Beautifully Broken Book Blog.Grace is a young girl of seventeen years old and is in the cheerleading squad, but not like most teens that are abscessed with teenage life. She has lost her parents at a young age and lives with her older brother who raises her and her younger sister. She lives in a small town and is not unhappy with her life and loves art.Ian is the boy that is all rock-in-roll and into the longer auburn hair and nice looking guy. He just moved from Massachusetts and is from lower income home, but works at a garage as a mechanic full time to save up to move to be in L.A. as a singer with his friend. His home life is not that good and has a drunk for a dad who has caused him many bruises.Grace and Ian fall for one another and it is romantic how he takes her to special places instead of the normal movie and diner dates. As time goes on he spends more time at Grace's house and they do become closer, when she finds out his dad kicks him out she gets her brother to take him in. One rule they break is sleeping together and they are caught, her brother is so upset kicks them both out and thus starts their journey to L.A... They make it to his friend's house Jaden and his grandfather and they are accepted like family. Grace finishes high school and Ian works and joins up in the band with Jaden as their singer. Everything is going good till he falls off the wagon and starts doing drugs and taking the wrong path. He tries to kick the habit for Grace with her help, but can he? The story brings out the first true love in everyone's lives that makes you think back on how you felt. It is a very good story on how you never truly get over that first love that captures your heart and how circumstances can change outcomes. I enjoyed reading this story and the emotions come through the pages and the problems that arise are things that happen in everyday life. I have to say this story left me wanting to know more.
