5.0

I wanted to read a different love story and this book fit. It is about a student/teacher relationship. The girl is 18 and they meet over the summer before they know they are teacher and student. There were times in the story when I didn't know if I should be rooting for them till the end or if I didn't want them to make it because it is a little messed up. I didn't know how the story would end and I didn't know how I wanted it to. I felt like the author did an amazing job at making you feel the same emotions as the characters. Maise has a drunk and druggie for a mom and no dad. I certainly did not grow up that way, but I felt like I understood why Maise did the things she did. I was drawn in to their crazy messed up world. I even cried at parts. If you want something different then this is the book. (The F word is used a lot)
