To nineteen-year-old high school dropout Travis Walker, women are like snowflakes--
each one different, but beautiful in her own way.
He can charm any girl he meets, and yet down deep he fears he'll always be a loser like
his jailbird father. As the landlady threatens to evict him and his sick mother, Travis
takes a job he hates and spends his evenings picking up girls at a nearby night spot.
When he enlists in a teen program at the local fire station, he finds out he’s amazing at
it. Then he meets the smoking hot Kat Summers, enlists Kat’s friend Zoey to help him
woo her, and falls in love for the first time ever.
But he keeps the details of his life secret. His girl will never love him back if she knows
the truth about him….
My Review:
This is New Adult, but it sometimes read more like a Young Adult book. While the characters did participate in certain activities, there was not a lot of detail and it remained quite chaste.
I really enjoyed reading from Travis's POV. Sometimes reading from a girls perspective over and over can get a bit monotonous. So this one was refreshing. Honestly I think Travis was quite the jerk, but seeing the evolution from the inside out instead of from an outside perspective was really great. Anne Pfeffer did a great job with the execution of that!
This is definitely an emotional book and it will hit you hard towards the end, at least it did for me.
Definitely a great addition to the New Adult genre!
