A book about starcrossed lovers. A boy born on the wrong side of town and falling prey to the sins of his upbringing and a girl with her picture perfect life and a road painted for her. It was bound to be a disaster from the beginning but sometimes beauty comes from a collision.

Ellison and Hendrix are the sweetest and cutest book couple. Not only were they able to overcome their social distance but they were able to prove everyone wrong about who they thought they were, they defined their odds and proved that they were both, together and individually, stronger and braver than what everyone thought they were.

Their relationship was so pure because it was based on learning the truth about each other and not turning away when things got ugly. The book also shows what it means to be a family by blood and by choice, what it means to truly stand for what you believe in and to take the leap of faith and courage to be who you want to be.

This was truly a book that held so much more meaning which is inevitably what live was all about. The truth about adulthood and how your choices affect who you are and who you’ll become.

Favourite quote: “Pride. I get it, because pride is my favourite sin.”
