This is not your typical "trashy" romance novel and I find that QUITE refreshing.  Not that I don't get into the occasional, predictable romance, but this book was so much more.  The characters are leading realistic lives, with real issues and they have honest reactions and struggles with the hurdles they face.  The plot and sideline stories interconnected and flowed well.  Very well written!You not only get a taste of an angsty romance brewing, where it seems that every possible obstacle stands in the way, but you get a good taste for the family relationships and how they deal with their issues in various ways.  You can feel the emotion pouring out from a few different perspectives - a storm brewing under a calm, practiced poker face, blatant displays of rage, and the irrationality of a teenage mind.  These all make you feel like you're getting the complete story.Definitely recommend for all the romance lovers out there - especially if you want something "more" out of your romance.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
