Can I say how much I loved this book? It just clicked with me.  I smiled, I cried, I got mad and I was devastated.  There is so much to this book.  This book is full of angst, heartache, love and redemption. Cuba and Dovey are truly two of the most heartbreaking characters I have read about. They are both so emotionally scarred by their past, they try to portray themselves as different people while trying to protect their hearts.  I was so floored by lengths they go to, in order, to spare themselves and each other pain is crazy mad.  But because of their past, I understood exactly why they did it. Cuba has been nicknamed "Hollywood".  No one even tries to see the real Cuba.  All they see is the football hero, jock, hottie heartthrob.  Very few people see the real Cuba that is hidden behind a big wall of armor to protect himself. Then there is Dovey, from the wrong side of the tracks.  At the rich kids school on scholarship.  She has this big ball of pride that gets in the way of a good heart.  The feelings, intensity, drama, connections and circumstances surrounding their past and their present create such a beautiful story.  A story that is so full of heart wrenching emotion and hope that will keep you hooked to the pages.  I loved this book!
