Laney Walker obviously is the center of the story. She has a best friend, Evan, who turns her boyfriend. I don’t think it was ever clear if they did define their relationship. It was clear they were tighter than clams. Her life has been sort of sheltered. It was a genuine sort of story with a little twist. Her Mom was not around. If was not glossed over either. I loved the way the author dealt with her home life. It was something painful, but believe me in the circumstances I have read others where the author takes it so over the top that I cry. It was a coming of age story that was well told.
“I want to remind her that we’re ingrained in one another and always will be.”EVAN
I think what I mostly enjoyed were the intricate relations between Laney and her Dad.He was by far one of the best single parents I have read. He was unique. As for the others, well, I can’t really say anything to spoil the plot. Her best friend Kaitlyn and now new room mate Bennett were so likable. It is hard to say more about the rough spots and Kaitlyn leaving for college too. You will have a love hate relationship with them all.
Lastly Laney meets Dane Kendrick. He is different, bold, up front and he treasured her. I thought Evan was protective, but Dane cornered the market on putting Laney on her pedestal. I hope you enjoy this one and look forward to more. I would totally go in the pool with Dane. Yes did I mention he has a hot tub too?
It is HARD to think this was a debut. WOW so much promise!
A story of growing up, friendship, loyalty, first love, primal love…and life.
