Today I’m bringing you the writer’s first book, she’s none other than A.M. Brooks. I could not imagine a better debut for her. If she continues to do this in the future, she will achieve major success. What is certain is that I will read her books and recommend to you. Her style is absolutely unique, captivating, freaky, but in a good way. The story can be read in the present time, the plot was built gradually; her characters’ personality developed first, and then declined. I don’t describe this as a problem; it was good.

Let’s me start by saying that this a solid 5 star story. This is a first book by this author and if I wouldn’t have known this before going in, I couldn’t have said it was. It was addicting, captivating and entertaining. I was hooked from the get go. The storyline was solid and it didn’t have any unnecessarily details just to fill a page. If I a story gets a reaction out of me then it’s a 5 star for sure.
Let’s talk about the storyline a bit without given out spoilers. This is a YA story that deals with some difficult subjects. Addiction. This story deals with drug and emotional kind.
Let’s focus on the characters. Darrian was an A*^!*le. He wants to change for Nora but he ends up hurting her more then anything else. He’s conflicted. I wanted to throw my kindle a time or two. I hated him but then he’s a young man who’s being rules by his parents. He tried, I’ll give him that. There’s Nora whom I wanted to shake a time or two. I wanted to say “WAKE UP”. But she’s survived things that left her emotionally vulnerable. An absent father so she turns to Darrian who gives her some attention.
All this said I devoured this story in a matter of a few short hours. There is a cliffhanger. The story is told in Nora’s POV mostly. Bottomline this comes highly recommended.
5 EMOTIONAL STARS!! This story had my emotions all over the place. I have such a Love/Hate relationship for Darrian. Nora is so strong and beautiful, this girl has confidence like no other. My heart ached for her and Darrian. Their story is full of angst and love, it had me flipping pages so fast I finished in one sitting. I need the next book.....NOW! I definitely think this story is a 1-Click book.
Nora has moved with her father more times than she can count. When she gets invited to a beach party to make some new friends she meets Darrian King and that moment will change her life forever. When two teenagers from very different backgrounds like each other & fall for one another can it truly work or does your families wealth, influences & school cliques get in the way. This YA gives you a true picture of a girl trying to fit into a world way out of her means and a boy that doesn’t know what he wants. I really hated Darrian in this book!! There is also bullying in this book if that is a trigger for you. Told in Nora’s POV and ends in a major cliffhanger.
