This was adorable. I loved our main character, Carter. I thought she was so genuine, and that so many people her age would be able to relate to some of her problems. She's a small town girl, who gave up something she loved, because other people's expectations ruined it for her. She's a teen, who doesn't like being outside her comfort zone. She's a girl dealing with a family problem and trying to help in any way she can. She's a girl, who loves an addict and is trying to figure out where to draw the line. That last issue is what thrusts her into Adam's orbit. This super private girl takes on fake dating to help her family, but it ends up being a life changing experience. Carter grows so much during the story and makes so many discoveries about herself. I was quite proud of her at times. Our other main character, Adam, is super complicated. He is very annoying at times and very lovable at others. Overall, a fun, cute read with quite a bit of heart and some swoon-worthy moments that made me smile.
