I recieved a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Ness lives a very solitary life. Her father keeps her in their cabin in the middle of the woods with nothing but her iPad and TV. She doesn't understand her father's reasoning, but she stays out of guilt, so her father won't be alone. Growing up, it was always just the two of them, so she feels it's her obligation to stay.Scott runs into Ness in the woods while he's searching for his twin sister. Missing for two months, Scott feels her disappearance is tied to the land that Ness and her father live on. Craving companionship in any way Ness immediately becomes friends with Scott. He's determined to camp out in the woods for the Summer, searching for clues to his sister's whereabouts. Ness and Scott soon become romantically involved, and Ness' father finds out. He imprisons her in their shed, so she can't leave him. Determined not to lose another person he loves, Scott finds Ness.What happens next unravels a lot of secrets. Ness learns about her mother, she discovers why her father is a recluse, and more importantly-Scott finds his sister. The sex scenes are hot, but the dialogue is so far fetched."Good grief, here I am finding a girl dusting her buns, cute.""Lead on, dear lady.""If that's your idea of torture, you've gotta do better than that, deary."It made me think Scott and Ness were 80 years old rather than young adults. I know Ness was a recluse her whole life, but Scott's in college, and most of this talk is from him. Except for the dialogue, the plot and characters made an interesting read.
