This is an honest review and I purchased this book (it was not given to me in an ARC). This is a first novel for this author and she nailed it....it gave me a book hangover and that is when you know a book is good.  The story revolves around Brooklyn  and a secondary character Lex who is her best friend and roommate.  The story starts out with a flashback ( I will try not to write spoilers) so it sets the rest of the book up nicely. We are told a story and not shown and the story draws you in immediately. The plot slowly unfolds so it leads  you on this journey of Brooklyn and how her life is what it is today.  There is a boy Finn ("sigh" Finn) and he is a great book BF.  There are more flashbacks and Brooklyn tries to remember her past.  A smart reader can guess pretty quick what is going on with plot but I never felt cheated or that it was a quick and dirty twist to the story...it added to it.  Brooklyn never had dumb moments on what was going on around her and that was really refreshing.  Again, I cannot recommend this book enough.
