17 year old Hailey has bounced around in the foster care system. Her greatest desire is to find a safe place where she can finish high school and then move on. The perfect family has finally come into Hailey's life. Hailey is finally making friends and feeling secure in her foster placement but realizes her feelings for her foster brother Brad are moving beyond friendship. Or will it be worth the risk?
I didn't care for the very descriptive casual sexual encounters. It could have been a great book for kids who have been or are in foster care to read about possible shared experiences.
