Beckett grew up in Bramble and has known Star his entire life. He was a skinny nerd until he joined the Marines and now the geeky kid is a gorgeous man. Star has mixed feeling about Beckett. While she’s attracted to his good looks and incredible body, she’s not sure she can trust him. Beckett’s a nice guy with an easy going way about him and he immediately puts Star at ease. Beckett is different from everyone else in her life, he accepts Star for who she is and doesn’t try to control her, or make any demands.
There is never a dull moment in this quirky story featuring Beckett and Star, but also interspersed with subplots about many of the zany characters living in Bramble. I liked Beckett and Star; they care about one another, but dance around their feelings because their afraid of being hurt.
