The blurb of the book was what pulled me in, I found the book at the right time when I was looking for a sweet book and this was flashing “read me, read me”. I know it was going to be sweet and very clean and sometimes it’s just the book I need. I’m really glad I read this book.

This story deals with your typical teenage issues and more. This book goes through a lot of things that teenagers goes through. From Jealous exe’s trying to ruin you, backstabbing friends and major bullying. It reminded me how mean kids can really be and that saddened me on what teenagers go through these days.

This book started out with Bentley and her family moving out of their beautiful home, after her dad loses his high paying job. Basically Bentley’s life turned upside down. Because of one main event everything in her life started getting affected. Not only was she losing her beautiful house, she was moving into a crappy apartment.

From beautiful dresses and money, to selling old clothes for money and working at a burger joint. From being in the in crowd to the bullied kid. What’s a girl to do? Well you know the saying “when life gives you lemon, make lemonade”. That is exactly what Bentley does.



I love Bentley’s character she is strong and a great kid. She starts living her life the best she knows how, with what she is given. She was ok with everything and having one awesome friend, then Kai happened. She thought she was over, the boys, then here comes Goth punk kid taking a hold of her heart. She didn’t like him at first, but once they got to know each other she couldn’t help but fall for him. Kai may not be your typical dream guy, but he is good looking. The difference is he dressed the way he wanted and he didn’t care what anyone thought of him. Kai had lots of piercing, tattoos and sometimes wear eyeliner..but when Bentley got to know Kai she realized he was so much more than his appearance. He was a sweet and a good guy. When Bentley needed someone the most, Kai was the one by her side. But with Kai’s jealous girlfriend wrecking havoc and will do anything to take Bentley down, what will she do? Will Bentley give up Kai? Or will she fight for him because he is the best guy she had ever known? Read and find out.

This book is a page turner, if you are into sweet young adult books. I love that the guy is not your typical book boyfriend. Kai is opposite of what a hero should be, he is just a simple guy who fell in love with Bentley and will do anything to protect her no matter the cost. Love this book, very sweet and enjoyable. Can’t wait to read Author Magan Vernon’s other books.
