Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I adored this book. The subject matter was touchy, but Kami Garcia crafted a beautiful story of a strong girl who was determined and knew her own worth.
Peyton was on top of the world. She had a conditional offer from the college she was dying to play for and her best friend and boyfriend supporting her. But in the blink of an eye, the loving boyfriend she thought she had turned into someone else and Peyton's world turns upside down.
I loved Peyton and I loved how, despite having her best friend turn her back on her, she was determined to push forward. She was also determined to not like living with her uncle and cousins but it was wonderful to see her embrace her family and her new friends along with the truth that there are people who believed in her.
Owen was a fantastic hero for Peyton. He had his own demon he was fighting, but he gave Peyton that push to be more than the girl who's boyfriend stole her dreams. It was a war between these two, but eventually, it was a war that proved to Peyton her worth.
A fabulous YA book that will pull you in and leave you with a smile at the very end.
