The writing is good, but holy moly the giant red flags in this book. Mental health issues, rape, legal issues, toxic relationships... Yikes doesn't even begin to describe it. A "mixed" but very white presenting rich boy rapes a local girl, he goes to trial and is convicted,  victim discovers she's pregnant and flees the state. She returns due to her father's health and finds he's been besties with the perp's brother. The brother then proceeds to tell many white lies to everyone regarding the child's existence, woos the victim and everyone is totally cool with all of this. 

NOPE. I'm not buying AT ALL that a rape victim would fall in love with the perp's brother. Or that all her PTSD would go away in one summer. Or that her family would be so cavalier about her safety and mental health. Or that this supposed "genius" child wouldn't catch on to anything. This is supposed to be a romantic story and the ICK is all over it. Finished, but barely.
