Christina’s Review:

That’s it! I’m such a sucker. Yep, I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for High School romance novels. Geez, it’s like I’m trying to relive my past or something…lol

This is the first book I’ve read from Misha and I was completely hooked from the very beginning. The story just felt….real. It didn’t feel forced or that she “needed” to add drama to make it what it was…awesome!

Sophia spends the majority of her adolescent years raising herself because her mother, having had Sophia at the age of 16, didn’t know how to be a mom. One day, that was supposed to be the beginning of the end for Sophia, her mother shocks her with news that will completely alter her senior year.

Who didn’t think that the senior football quarterback was the hottest guy around when they were in high school? Well, after moving to a new town and starting a new school, Sophia not only thinks he’s hot, but he’s got his eyes set on her as well. Their newly found relationship sets things in motion that completely change everything Sophia has spent the last 3 years planning for.

When their love is tested, words are said and actions seem to be speaking louder than words, at least until an event brings things full circle.

Wow, this review is really hard to write without giving the story away. Oh wait, I can’t possibly give it away because I was left with the craziest cliffhanger, argh!!! No time like the present…opening second book….now…wait…July???? Dang it…to be continued…
