Willa and Flor are best friends and Willa and
Zach are best friends, so when Flor and Zach break up, Willa is caught in the middle. To make matters more complicated, Willa has
had feelings for Zach for a long time and come to find out Zach has had the
same romantic feelings for Willa. Flor
has her own hardships at home when her dad starts dating a younger woman and
lets her move in with them. Flor finds
herself confiding in her nerdy, but hot tutor, Grayson.
Secrets, romance and friendship make this a
fast fun read. I enjoyed all the
characters, but I think the friendship between Willa and Flor isn’t very developed. Also the cover isn't appealing in the least. The content includes a descriptive heavy make-out with
partial nudity, underage drinking, crass expressions and underground
fighting.
