![]() ![]() So hopefully Maggie will make some friends throughout the series. Also, it bugged me that she did not have a single friend that was her own, they were all just West’s friends and that is not healthy. I mean she has a tragic backstory and you feel bad for her. Maggie didn’t have enough personality for me to make an opinion of her as a character. I had mixed feelings about his character. I mean the sexism, possessiveness and slut-shaming were terrible. As he has an early 2000s character written all over him. West is a very interesting character, on one side I feel bad for the guy and I sort of understand that the way he acts is just his way of grieving…however on the other hand I was shocked that this character was written in 2015. I am weirdly happy about this as it means I can still stay within my favourite genre for a little bit longer. And as I have been slowly moving toward New Adult and Adult fiction in general I thought I was moving away from Young-Adult and would not enjoy this book as much as I did. So for that very reason, I just had to give this book a high rating.Ĭompared to some of the books I read this year, this one has to be for a younger audience. Honestly, it was giving such nostalgia for my childhood as I 100% could see the CW or ABC Family (Now Freeform) eating this up. Was it super entertaining? Hell Yeah! Honestly, the entire time I read this book, it played out like a TV-Show…more specifically in my head, it played out as an early 2010s CW TV-Show. But he never expected the quiet new girl to reply, to reveal a pain even deeper than his own-or for them to form a connection so strong that he couldn’t ever let her go… West expected that talking about his dad would bring some relief or at least a flood of emotions he couldn’t control. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away.Īs West’s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father-so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won’t tell anyone else. ![]() Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn’t draw Maggie back out. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and hasn’t spoken since. Two years ago, Maggie Carleton’s life fell apart when her father murdered her mother. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the outside, on the inside he’s battling the grief that comes with watching his father slowly die of cancer. ![]() To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to the state championships. ![]()
