Summary
Budding photographer Josie Saint-Martin has spent half her life with her single mother, moving from city to city. When they return to her historical New England hometown years later to run the family bookstore, Josie knows it’s not forever. Her dreams are on the opposite coast, and she has a plan to get there.
What she doesn’t plan for is a run-in with the town bad boy, Lucky Karras. Outsider, rebel…and her former childhood best friend. Lucky makes it clear he wants nothing to do with the newly returned Josie. But everything changes after a disastrous pool party, and a poorly executed act of revenge lands Josie in some big-time trouble—with Lucky unexpectedly taking the blame.
Determined to understand why Lucky was so quick to cover for her, Josie discovers that both of them have changed, and that the good boy she once knew now has a dark sense of humor and a smile that makes her heart race. And maybe, just maybe, he’s not quite the brooding bad boy everyone thinks he is…

Review
This is the second book by Jenn Bennett that I am reading. However, this time I didn’t give any rating.
This book is an easy and quick read. The story sucks you in from the first pages. The romance is cute, and the fact that they discover themself again add to it. I totally bought this side of the story. The family parts were great; as you become attached to them, you want to help them.
However, I would have liked the story to be with multiple views rather than only Josie’s one, like Evie’s one or Josie’s mother. I feel like there is a missing part in this story due to that.
I also had a problem with Josie’s fixation with being single and a virgin; I don’t see any problem with that as she is seventeen and always on the move. It’s not an unexpected thing.
Overall, I liked this book, but I didn’t see which rating would be the best for this book, so I prefer not to give any. Just read it and make your thoughts after.
Liz.
