Audiobook (audible) - HS romance stars when they’re 14 with her mom screwing his father and tearing his family apart. He blames her and her mother for his family drama, and when she turns up at his school he fights his obsession with her through bullying. Weeks pass and it turns to more and more but his mom and sister tear them apart. After 18 months he finds her again and does everything he can to keep her for life. Great story with some decent character development, but mostly predictable moments.
