This is the 2nd book I've read by Nicole Williams ("Almost Impossible" being the first). And since I thoroughly enjoyed that one, I thought I'd give this one a go.
Quinn moves in with her estranged father in the Seattle area after the death of her mother. While there, she discovers more about what she wants out of life and starts to fall for the mysterious baseball player classmate Kel.
I'm beginning to notice a pattern here in the author's works...the male love interest has some kind of bug secret. No spoilers for any of the books here, but it's interesting to learn why Kel acts the way he does.
This story felt real, with real characters. I understood why Quinn felt the way she did towards her father (why she called him by his first name instead of Dad). I too was curious as to what secret Kel was trying to keep under wraps and separate from his life with Quinn. I found myself wanting to read more and find out the answers to what would happen in Kel and Quinn's life. Would she ever be ready to visit her mom's grave? Would he let her in more, or always be n his guard?
This is a cute, realistic, YA romance that deals with serious issues. A good read for YA romance fans.
