Review Detail

Where to start with this book?

The Story:
Rayne manages to snag the eye of the most desirable boy in town and she thinks he's what she wants. He brings with him a certain status, but being his girlfriend isn't as easy as she imagined. First, there's the town gossip. There's also the fact that Preston doesn't seem to know how to put her first.
And then... there's Gage, the unwanted brother, the loner, the outcast.
And the only one of the Howard boys that makes her heart race.

What I loved:
I couldn't look away from the story. It gripped me from the beginning and wouldn't let go until I knew how it would all turn out. Nothing happens as expected and those are the best kind of stories. There's a theme of secrets that's intriguing as well. This town and these families are completely messed up and it's fascinating to watch it all unfold.

What was just okay:
There are a lot of misunderstandings that can be cleared up if people would just talk to each other. These three characters hurt each other again and again. It's almost unhealthy. Preston is a jerk in the first half but then does a one-eighty and becomes a completely different person. It worked for him and Rayne definitely needed it from him, but something seemed off about it. Still, it didn't take away from the great story.

Final Verdict:
A well-written and intriguing story that will leave your mind spinning and your heart aching. Definitely a can't miss.
