Cliffhanger Ending
I should have known this would have a cliffhanger because 187 pages isn’t enough to wrap up some of the topics in this book. Also, I didn’t realize this was a YA book because it was one of those free Amazon books and I wasn’t really paying attention. It obviously caught my attention enough to read the entire book but it’s mostly because I wanted answers to why Keana’s mom, Dawn, would do something so awful. It was explained briefly in the book why Dawn was the way she was but come on, this is your daughter! Obviously because of Dawn leaving her with people she doesn’t know, it completely rocks her already sad world. Most of this book is Keana trying to come to terms with not being wanted while the other is trying to not have feelings for the boy next door, Jett. Jett has everything Keana doesn’t and it irks her but she still falls in love with him. I didn’t really feel the sizzle between these 2 but maybe it’s because reading about a 16-17 year old’s relationship while being in my 30’s is a bit weird. Did I mention I didn’t realize this was a YA book? However, there are other YA reads that I’ve absolutely loved like “ The Fault in our Stars” or “Eleanor & Park” so maybe it’s just this book. Although this book ends with a cliffhanger, it’s almost enough for me to just be done with it. They have a HFN ending and after finding out there are 7 books in this series, yes 7, I don’t think I’m going to bother however I can see teens really liking this. For a free Amazon read, I give this a 3. I don’t love it or hate it but I can’t see myself reading all 7 books either.
