What a beautiful, touching and heartbroken book. I'm absolutely in love with the way this author write. Words can't describe all the emotions this story make me go thru the entire book. Sooo amazing.
A small town, high school romance that quickly ends. Kyland is a story about hope, sacrifice, heartbreak. Tenleigh and Kyland are high school seniors hoping for the college scholarship that will be their ticket out of the poverty-stricken small coal mining town that has been home for their entire lives. Only one person can win and it really is a chance of lifetime for these kids. Both kids have been through some traumatic experiences growing up. They really want a chance to grow and explore and become something other than what the life they have grown up with. They both fall madly in love with one another but things happen and it changes the course of both their ‘planned paths’. I think Kyland will be on top of several book boyfriend lists. His character is really interesting and grows on you as the story unfolds.it is really hard to think about forgiving him but hear his side of the story and see if you change your mind. The new cover of this book is stunning and fits the story perfectly. Many thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books and NetGalley for the digital review copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Gosh, never in a million years would I expect the story to turn the way it did. It was beautiful, really.
*****SO GOOD*****

Two impoverished teens are competing for a scholarship to earn a full ride to college, but then they fall for each other and things get complicated.
This book was angsty and fast-paced but felt more YA than I was expecting. I liked both Kyland and Tenleigh’s characters but their extremely self-sacrificing natures didn’t feel wise given their less-than-ideal home situations. Romantic? Definitely. Idiotic? For sure. I loved their relationship and it was very entertaining but some of their choices were very questionable.
