23 yo Cassy knows what she wants her life to look like, but her plans fall apart when her lifelong crush returns to their small town without looking at her twice. Without the man she always knew she was going to marry and the sudden appearance of reporters thanks to some hot-shot actor’s thoughtless mistag on social media, Cassy doesn’t know what to do. But maybe these mishaps are exactly what Cassy’s life needs.
While dramatic in this romance, I do like Clarke’s theme about letting your plans for life change. Not living out the exact life we thought we would doesn’t mean that we can’t still be happy and accomplish our goals. Sometimes reality is better than our imaginations, and Cassy didn’t have to change her values in order to adjust to a new outcome. Be yourself and enjoy life’s surprises.
Cassy and Jack are depicted as white on the cover, Dee is implied Black, and most of the other characters are implied white. The mature content rating is for alcohol use, innuendo, and mentions of drugs, lust, groping, and penises.
