I felt such an instant connection to Meg. Going through a divorce and having children, one of them being a daughter I instantly connected. I could close my eyes and see my daughter. No I am not saying my daughter did the things that Meg does in this book. But the pain she was feeling, the confusion, feeling of being unloved, not sure which way is up or down at any given moment. I remember my kids especially my daughter going through many of those very same feelings.When Meg meets Aiden and what happens the first time they get together I am already on momma alert yelling "RUN GIRL ~ GET OUT RIGHT NOW WHILE YOU CAN!!!" but alas yelling at my kindle does no good. Meg falls and she falls pretty hard. She goes through some serious stuff, does some stupid things, sex, drugs, alcohol, ditching her friends for a new, not-so-good, ground, breaking rules that normally she wouldn't.Her dad has left for another woman, her mother has shut herself in her room and alcohol is her best friend leaving Meg to try and manage through this upheaval in her life and figure out what to do. Through the outburst with her father and his new wife, the final crashing of her mother, the loser Aiden (and boy is he a loser), the loss of her best friend Jada, there is one bright and shining star that is always consistent - Case, sweet, adorably cute, always there - Case.This book is a good hard look at the reality of teenage life, drama, choices both good and bad and the consequences that come from those choices. Of broken hearts, broken trust, growth and realization.I loved this book - 4 Stars all the way
