Wounded soul stories can go off the rails so easily. This one does not. It blends guilt, sadness, and growing attraction perfectly and If you haven't read the related book, Some Kind of Normal, please do so. Both are extremely satisfying stories of how young people deal with tragedy and grief, emerging battle-scarred, but better in the end. ( )

Part amusing, part oversimple.
Better books out there.

EDIT 20-04-19 : I remember absolutely nothing about this book. ( )

This was a sweet romance between Monroe and Nate, two broken teenagers trying to survive the pain and guilt brought on by one careless mistake. Told from alternating points of view, it took awhile for their secrets to be revealed, especially Monroe's which keeps the reader guessing. I liked both the main characters, maybe Nate a bit better, and their romance developed fairly realistically although the focus on Nate's 'hotness' became annoying after a while. However, what really spoilt it for me was the ending. It was just too cliche for my tastes, but otherwise quite a touching read. ( )
