Before I dive into my review, I want to give a disclaimer. When I go into Ellen Hopkins books, I am excited to read outside the box and read a book made of poetry that is art and content and just awesome. I was sad when I opened this that there is minimal poetry sprinkled within the book. So warning.
From the beginning of the book, the reader is swept into Tara's life. It is a little rough from the start but finally gets into a swing and you go from her being crazy and single to starting to get tied down. After an injury sidelines her and really brings her to her knees, she has to start relying on others and you really see her shift. I liked watching that change in the character. Cavin Lattimore the doctor that walks into her life after her injury was interesting, with the addition of his teenage son, the reader has to pick on each page who to trust and it bounces back and forth. There were times where I was excited that I had to decide who to trust and then there were moments where it got exhausting.
