I have never wished that I couldn’t read until I read this book. I should have stopped reading this the moment she said she wanted to be a DA. Better yet, I should have stopped after he called her “buttercup” the first time. I think if someone ever calls me “buttercup” I will have to cut them out of my life because of this book.

Graphic: Sexual violence and Trafficking
This book takes a random ass turn and suddenly focuses on sex trafficking and the horrors of it without any hint or warning.nickypizarro's review against another edition

I pride myself on being able to predict how books and movies are going to play out. Boy was I wrong time and time again while reading this one. Each page brought an unexpected layer to the story, making this book stand out for me. Grace is described as the girl with a plan while Carson is the more carefree character but one weekend changes all of that for them. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the judgment on his early career choice, I know this is common. Overall I liked how both Carson and Grace grew up separately over time before realizing they should be together. The weekend was a huge catalyst in both of their lives. Sometimes it really is the right person, wrong time. The way Mia used this book to also shed light on a huge issue like human trafficking is admirable. I really hope there are some Carson's out there in this world trying to fight that battle just as passionately as he is alongside his team.
