Riley and her daughter
have returned to Lawton to help Riley’s grandmother who has dementia. Riley left Lawton two years ago because when
she told the police that Rhett, Lawton’s golden boy, had raped her the town shunned
and persecuted her. Now that she is
back, she doesn’t care what people think of her, and Riley is surprised that
Brady, the town football hero, acts like he wants to be friends. Brady feels guilty about the way he treated
Riley before and decides that he believes her and wants to protect her. Riley’s strength also helps Brady get through
his family’s hardship as well.
This
story is told in alternate voices between Brady and Riley. I like the characters and the story line was
interesting. This book has a lot of content including a rape (not details,
but still upsetting), language and heavy make-out sessions. Also the ending wasn’t very satisfying.
HS – OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
