Reader Reviews
That's how you write a damn book.Holy shit.I don't usually read YA, but this was recommended, and I tend to make exceptions for recs. i am SO glad I did! It was freaking beautiful! I so completely lived in Ridge's heart through this entire story, and I loved it so, so much.

had trouble with ridge's characterization. so much that i found spending time in his head to be largely unfun and kinda alienating.i can't decide whether it's because of YA tropes i don't particularly admire, or because of him.on the whole a kind of frustrating experience for me, what with distinctly female-gazey perspectives on some things, and some niggles plot-wise.some good scenes, though.two stars, as my friend expy says, For It Was Okay.
