The only thing keeping this from being a five star is Emmett. He was whiny and selfish and generally just the less interesting character. Luke, however, oh my fucking god. His whole entire life was tipping and waiting to crumble like dominos the entire time. I wanted to cry at the plot twist. All the truths finally coming together fit so perfectly into place at the end it's as if it happened to me personally. I expected this to be a silly little story about teenage cowboys in love, and it was, but Luke's story made it a heartbreaking and yet hopeful tale about family trauma and how we can grow from it.
