About the Book
Falling in love is complicated when you’re both keeping secrets.
On the surface, everything seems perfect for high school senior Ireland Raine. She’s intelligent and artistically talented, and her natural beauty and quiet charm are enviable. However, Ireland harbors a secret she’ll guard at any cost—she’s homeless.
When her crush, Kal Ellis, invites her on a date, she seizes the opportunity. Ireland has never had a boyfriend before, and Kal is not just a guitarist in a local band, he’s also an artist. Their connection is instantaneous, and he suggests they collaborate on the school mural. Working and laughing alongside Kal, Ireland can momentarily forget her problems.
However, when someone exposes her secret, Ireland ends up in a foster home alongside her most despised adversary, Mara Washington. To make matters worse, Ireland discovers it was Kal who revealed her secret.
Furious, Ireland must decide if she has the strength to forgive the boy who stole her heart or if she is better off alone. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
I enjoy a good young adult novel so I was excited to dive into this one! I really liked how the book deal with homeless teens. It is very eye opening and the author did a great job writing this into the story. The characters I liked okay, I struggled to fully love Kal. The "romance" doesn't take up the entire plot which I appreciated. I also really like the layers of the secondary characters. The author really dove into different situations that come up not only in the world of teens but also adults who aren't in school. I do wish there was a bit more to the story and I felt like it just ended suddenly but overall this is a decent read.
Four Stars.
