This is my second Brigid Kemmerer novel and im beginning to see a pattern she writes young adult contemporary novels with hard hitting subjects and she does them really well in my opinion.

Without going into to much detail and spoiling this book Rob lives his life lonely, in the shadows after a crime his father committed, students and town folk belive he knew what his father was doing all along and so he becomes an outcast. Megan(yes I spelt her name differently to the author did in the book) cheated on a test and since then has always been branded as a cheat. When the two of them have to work together on a maths project will they find a common ground?

I personally, loved this book, I thought it was really well written it spoke well of family loyalty, wealth divides, the difference between doing what you believe is right and what is actually the right thing to do. I read through this quiet fast my only issue was I didn't like Connor he really annoyed me many times and as much as I enjoyed how they worked out their differences and yes that made me emotional, I think Connor was a shitty friend.

I will be reading more by this author in the future.

Can we be defined by a mistake that we did? Should that be the main sole that we're being judged? No, it shouldn't because we're human and we're bound to make mistakes every single day that we're alive. This story kept repeating about this and I just want to remind all of you that nobody is perfect, everyone make mistakes everyday. No one is a saint.

I really breezed through this book because it was an enjoyable read. It talks about pretty rough things but it was easy to get into it. The characters are going through tough times and they all have problems of their own. I love the fact that they are willing to be there for one another the best way that they possibly can. It really says a lot and it doesn't only apply to lovers but also friendships.

The romance aspect between Rob and Meagan was pretty straightforward and before they know it, their math project was quickly abandoned as things start to pile up. Making new friends and slowly rebuilding back what was once a broken relationship was great when I read it because it's something that I really look forward to.

I don't think that I've ever read a book quite like this as it was a really great read. I've only read a fantasy book by this author before and now I'm definitely going to look up for more stories by her. I wish that I will also enjoy it just as much as I did with these two books.
