The storyline in this did seem a bit predictable with the whole ‘good girl falls in love with bad boy’ thing going on, and the way that Feltcher ended up living above Avery’s parent’s garage reminded me a bit of The Summer I Found You by Jolene Perry. “At least cars can’t express their disappointment in you.” It did seem like some of his badness was probably down to this really, and he seemed to be a really nice person under his bad exterior. “I’d spent way too much time studying and not enough partying, I didn’t know any of these people well enough that they were going to include me in their little circles.”įletcher had had big problems at home with his dad, and I felt quite sorry for him with all the abuse he’d had to put up with.
She worked hard, and even helped other people, but hadn’t had much time for partying or a boyfriend, and although that wasn’t going to change overnight, she wanted to at least get a chance at being in love before she went to college. This was a YA contemporary romance story, about a good girl, and a bad boy.Īvery was very studious, and liked to do the right thing.
