*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review*
3.5/5 Stars
After the unexpected loss of her mother, 17 year old Coley moves in with her absentee father in rural Oregon. There she meets popular girl Sonya, who she is instantly drawn to. As they spend more time together, they begin to fall for one another but try to keep their feelings hidden from those around them.
I enjoyed this for the most part, except I absolutely despised Sonya and her friends. I appreciated Sonya's internal struggle with always needing to be perfect, but I'm sorry, she was a shitty human and I couldn't get behind the romance. It was insanely toxic, and unhealthy, I just wanted to save Coley from Sonya. I did like Coley and her relationship with Curtis, her father. I liked watching them learn to trust one another again. I wish the story focused more on them healing from their past and repairing their relationship.
