There may be slight spoilers in here but nothing that will ruin the story for you IF you chose to read it.Ive had this book on my Kindle for some time before I actually decided to read it.That being said I couldnt even remeber what it was supposed to be about.I remembered the Author name and Cover.Thought that was a good sign ... usually is for me anyways so I dove in.Well its certainly not your typical YA/NA read these days.And its also not very original,well parts of it are but again there is so much going on that none of it is original Ive just never seen it all packed in a book.Spoiled teenager who gets pregnant. Her and her boyfriends parents are disgusted and order her to terminate it,but she refuses. Instead she runs away with nothing but the money in her pocket and the clothes she managed to stuff in a bag. The only person she has is a distant cousin whom she has only talked to on a social networking site, she stays with him and starts a whole new life.So starts Sydneys new life as a 17 year old pregnant Teenager living in a city that NOBODY recognises her even though her dad is Illinois senator Randall Ross. This was for me Unbelievable but okay I kept with the book even though by this time I was already questioning why I was still reading it...Next we learn she and this distant relative are,well they have feelings for each other and soon after that they are in a relationship.We dont really learn much here other than they are some how distant relatives.so I guess its ok they have a relationship...Honestly I dont know about you all but Family is Family no matter how distant!Then we move on a bit more to the next "twist" in the story line.Sydney is 6 months or so (im guessing I really dont remember because it doesnt last long) along now and working a crappy Job.Said relative/boyfriend? is a aspiring artist so he has no real income either.They dont have much but they have a roof over their heads and thats more than she could have asked for so Sydney is happy.One day sydney decides she wants a treat and heads down to the gas station down the block On the way er Ex boyfriend calls her cell hone,something nobody has done in a very long time. anyways on with this so Sydney gets her "treat" slushy I believe it was. but little does she know that before she even gets a taste her life will be forever changed..And Now we are on to the next part of the story line.At this point Im just amusing myself and reading to see just how ridiculous this story can get.Ive had a few laughs and a few didnt see that coming and a few totally saw that coming moments...From this point on things take a huge twist and were just so crazy with what all happens.It basically goes from what started out as a YA Romance to a Crime mystery Suspense Thriller.After the shocking climax, Sydney is brought to her knees with one seething question: Who in the world can she trust when no one is who they seem to be?I could keep going and just how B movie this story turned into but Ill stop now I think my point has been made.Overall it has its moments but so much of what happens was really unnecessary.Its certainly delivered on the "Didnt see that coming" ending but that too was a bit over the top and drawn out.That was really my biggest Issue with this book everything was over dramatic,unnecessary and unbelievable.At some points to Unrealistic to be believeable.
