This book is just amazing! Its about a girl named Halley and her best friend Scarlett. During the summer Scarlett dates this guy named Micheal but then he dies in a motorcycle accident. Turns out Scarlett is pregnant and Micheal is the father. Now Scarlett needs Halley more than ever. Halley also meets and guy named Macon who was Micheal's best friend. He is....different. They really become close with each other but Macon is rushing her on having sex for the first time. Halley doesn't feel ready but she doesn't want to loose Macon either. This book really defies friendship and love. The friendship between Halley and Scarlett and how they help each other out throughout the story and the connection between Halley and Macon. I really enjoyed this book and I'm starting to really like her books. Its a must-read! You'll really love it and its one of the best books I've read so far this year.

This book is great for teenagers however it can also be relatable to anyone because it is filled with so many obstacles.For instance Scarlett us a young teen mom and Halley is having relationship problems. I personally enjoyed this book because it helped me understand how important it is to keep your emotions intact. This book us drama filled and it has so many plot twist. The only thing a I disliked about the book is that it ended suddenly, but i guarantee this book will tug at your heart strings
