River Santos is stuck—in her job at the diner, in her dead-end town, in her grief. Her father died in a house fire just a few months ago, her mother has been MIA for nearly a year, and the only people she can count on are the aunt she lives with and her best friend Tawny.
Things feel like they’re turning around when Logan—the hot guy at the diner who’s always ignored her—seems interested. It’s complicated by her ex-boyfriend Noah, who she really needs closure with, and the fact that Tawny doesn’t think either of them is good enough for River… but the tension between River and Logan can’t be denied.
But love takes a backseat when new information surfaces about the fire. After all these months trying to move forward, River is forced to rethink everything… including the idea that maybe it wasn’t an accident after all. But who would commit this deadly act? And why?
River isn’t sure who to trust or who to turn to, but she needs to figure it out, fast. Because someone has more than love on their mind. They want revenge.
I enjoyed the letters that River’s mom wrote. I even loved that River was overcoming all of these obstacles that were placed on her. Her mother’s disappearing act, the fire, and her father’s death.
I did not like, however, Noah. Nor did I really appreciate the ending. I mean it did take me by surprise who everyone was, but it bothered me. I also kind of figured out where River’s mom was before it was revealed.
Overall, it is a melodramatic teenage/YA novel that had spurts of darker definition to it. I rate this novel 4 out of 5 stars.
