3.5

I read this in 8 hours. That’s all, that’s the review.

Just kidding. I don’t typically race to read romances that have high schoolers as main characters but this book checks so many other boxes that I didn’t care. There are two timelines (we see the characters around age 18 and then 4 years later) and it’s dual POV which always keeps things interesting. The setting is in the hills of Appalachia and the story presents themes of poverty, classism, drugs, and mental health.

Also don’t let the awful cover with a male model on the front scare you away (I prefer the alternative cover for sure). I swear it’s amazing writing, the storyline twisted and I ran through it so fast. Could not put it down.

The book itself was decent, but with the two main characters going back and forth was irritating… I did like the little twist right at the end where Kyland was the one paying for tenleigh’s mothers hospital bill and the fact that he got the scholarship. However there was something about this book that just really irritated me… My official rating is a 3.5 stars!

Great book! Although people kept telling me it was better than Mia Sheridan’s Archer’s Voice, and I can’t agree. Still sweet and heart wrenching though!

Me gustó mucho , aunque al final predecible.

Kyland will leave you in tears, not just from the relationship between kyland and tenleigh, but their life struggles and the real life family dynamics they both have and go through. Mia sheridan’s writing never disappoints!

I love Kyland!
