Hildy expects that this summer is going to be
plain and boring like all of the summers before, until she meets Conner, a cute
boy who seems interested in her. As
Hildy and Conner begin to become boyfriend and girlfriend, Hildy finds herself
changing to make him happy. Hildy has a
lot to learn about balancing life and boys.
The cover of this book is very misleading. It looks like a fun, sweet teen romance, when
in actuality it’s about a controlling boyfriend-he’s so controlling, it’s borderline
abusive. The book reveals an important
lesson about remembering who we are when navigating through first love, but the
main character took forever to realize the problem and when she finally did it
felt abrupt.
