There's a difference between falling and letting go. Lauren has a good life: decent grades, great friends, and a boyfriend every girl lusts after. So why is she so unhappy? It takes the arrival of Evan Kirkland for Lauren to figure out the answer: She's been holding back. She's been denying herself a bunch of things because staying with her loyal and gorgeous boyfriend, Dave, is the "right" thing to do. After all, who would give up the perfect boyfriend? But as Dave starts talking more and more about their life together, planning a future Lauren simply can't see herself in and as Lauren's craving for Evan, and moreover, who she is with Evan becomes all the more fierce Lauren realizes she needs to make a choice ... before one is made for her.
This book is the second I pick up from Elizabeth Scott (I like her name!) This is a somewhat typical contemporary book about a teenager's road of self-discovery. Lauren as been negleted and felt unloved for so long that she adapted her behavior, and her personality to what she thought others will like. To be the perfect daughter, perfect friend and perfect girlfriend. It took Evan's arrival back to school to shake things up and made her realized what she was missing and to know what true happines is. Really liked this one.
