Enter Will Cooper: The attractive, 21-year-old new neighbor with an intriguing passion for slam poetry and a unique sense of humor. Within days of their introduction, Will and Layken form an intense emotional connection, leaving Layken with a renewed sense of hope.
Not long after an intense, heart-stopping first date, they are slammed to the core when a shocking revelation forces their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together, and the secret that keeps them apart.
Synopsis from Goodreads
Review
Yucky, yuck yuck. So dramatic! UGH. Too much crying. Not enough "real life situations" in this book.
So this is Layken (aka Lake to her parents, and her hotty on-off teacher-boyfriend). She moves from Texas where it's hot and they say y'all, to Michigan where it snows in September. Of course the first thing that happens once they get to their new house is... OOO, who's that guy? Once the guy comes over and introduces himself as Will, they both know it's love and all that other good stuff. Yadda yadda. Oh yeah, so btw her dad had a heart attack 6 months ago. And then, she finds out Will lost both is parents. And then she finds out her mom has cancer. Wow this author is really laying it on thick with how many tragedies are in this book. I mean, mostly people can't even handle when one person is about to die, let alone 3 parents that have, and one that's about to.
Then, after their steamy introduction, the next day Layken finds herself over at Will's house. That morning, she'd gone outside but had slipped and fell, hurt her shoulder so Will came to the rescue. He's all like, let me help you, I can clean that up for you, oh, and here's my jacket in case you're cold. Meanwhile, all Layken can think about is Will's body....awkward.
Later that day, she goes to buy groceries but doesn't know where the closest one to home is. So Will goes with her and it takes 20 minutes to get there, but then Will says it wasn't the fastest way, because the fastest way only takes about a minute. That's obvious flirting for ya. When they get back home, he kisses her. On the forehead, mind you, but they don't even know each other! I guess, Will was already so "enamored" with Layken he asked her out. What!!!? Until they both find out that Will will be teaching Layken. And there's all sorts of drama and crying and "life's so unfair" crap.
Don't read this book. It's not worth you're time.
