Cecilia
lives a very controlled life since she was almost kidnapped as a child. Her mother is a high-profile senator and she
doesn’t let Cecilia make a decision for herself. When Cecilia’s favorite person, her
grandmother Gigi, dies, Cecilia decides to make a break from her mother and
runs away. Cecilia becomes Lia and gets
a job and falls in love, but will her secret stay a secret.
This book has an intriguing premise, but
falls flat in execution. Cecilia isn’t a
very likable character. The romantic
interest is a playboy who sleeps with married women, but has insta-love for
Lia, making it hard to like him. The
mature content is skinny dipping, underage drinking and references to all of
his player moments. The ending is
HORRIBLE because it is a ginormous unrealistic cliff hanger and who knows if
there is going to be a second book.
