This book is billed as a Young Adult read. That being said, I felt it was darker than most YA books. It's told from two different perspectives and hooked me right away. Gabe in Austin tries to break up with his overbearing and beautiful girlfriend, but she doesn't want him to get away. Things start going downhill fast for him and he has to decide if he can handle it...
Quiet Elyse keeps her terrible home life in Portland to herself. Only her best friend knows, but their friendship is strained when Elyse lands the lead part in the school play, beating out her bestie. She also becomes entangled in a relationship that isn't right for many reasons.
Their stories kept me guessing on how they were linked. It's very shocking when you find out how they are connected, and the book takes a darker turn that I would have imagined.
