I liked that this book has been so light and easy to read, sometimes that's just what I need. On the other hand I feel that the story is kind of weak, especially in the romantic aspects



2.5/5 Stars

You can find this one and more of my review on my blog A Book. a Thought.


The book follows Clancy, she's a 17 year old girl who has always been the good girl in her family. Since her mother died in a skydiving accident her father has become overprotective with Clancy and due to all the rules that her father imposes on her and the protection of her boyfriend, Clancy wishes to break the rules and feel free just for the summer. This is how she meets Danny, (skydiving student and university student), and it's here when the lies begin. Clancy makes Danny believe that she's older than she really is, to avoid being treated like a litlle girl. But relationships begin to be damaged and the lies are too big to hold them


I honestly think that Clancy has a very immature attitude in the book, which is funny cause she's trying to show how mature and independent she can be and how she no longer needs to be permanently cared. And I understand the bad situation that the family has been going through and I also understand that because of that there are many feelings involved and maybe sometimes one can make wrong decisions because of this. But at the same time I don't feel that what Clancy does with her lies and behavior has a real justification. I think she just wanted to behave in a rebellious way, doing things that she normally wouldn't do, without reason. I also feel sorry for those people who got hurt without deserving it

When the romance grows based on lies and deceptions it's very difficult for me to feel that I want to continue following the couple, you know?. I think the big mistake of the book is to focus on an unhealthy romantic relationship


It has a good reading rhythm, even though I'm not satisfied with the plot in general I think it's very easy to read so I didn't want to stop highlighting that

Even though the romance was too false and meaningless for me, I liked another aspect of the plot and that is the family dynamics, it's quite good, I think that dialogs and tension moments between father and daughter can happen in real life, and that seemed pretty well developed to me. In addition, although the father's behavior may be too much for some of you, I personally understand his motives, the man lost his wife and now he has to raise his daughter on his own, the sadness is so clear, and I think that at the end of all he's just looking to protect his daughter


Denny is not a bad character, I think his individual life is quite interesting and I think he's the best character in the book, it's a pity that he hasn't developed in a deeper way

The whole Skydiving topic has seemed very interesting to me especially because I'm very interested in the subject and had no previous knowledge about it.

I'm not sure if I would recommend the book, maybe if you're at that stage when you want to read something light and not so important, then it's great! Also if you're in some kind of read-a-thon it can work, it's a very short book, so I think it's perfect for it
