Teenage prostitution. Arson. Dead bodies. Volleyball. WTF.
Anyone that has ANY emotional intelligence will not like this book. In fact; I find it almost impossible that so many people cried over this shit. It is about a "self-reliant" teen that meets a young man. He doesn't tell her his real name and lies about everything else. Just like her. She doesn't tell her dad SHE FOUND HER MOM DEAD FROM AN OVERDOSE. This robot of a girl can only feel after a shallow relationship. Not so independent as every choice is made with complete consideration for the love of her life...after a few weeks. It must be love because she doesn't find it WEIRD AT ALL that he's going to take care of a body they find on a beach.
Totally unbelievable and reaches beyond all grasp of teenagers.

Beyah Grim has always had a tough life. From her mother constantly addicted to drugs, her father far away only calling occasionally, it seemed like she was on her own from a very young age. Not to mention, Beyah had a distrust in others, always expecting the worst since that was all she had come to see in other people her whole life so far. When the death of her mother leaves her suddenly without a home, and no where else to go, Beyah had no one else to turn to except for her dad, Brian Grim. Now, for the whole summer before heading off to college, Beyah was spending time with her father and his new family, as well as meeting a certain guy that initially set her on edge, but gradually found interesting. With Colleen Hoover’s writing, and unique story telling ways, she crafted this story to be emotional, hitting right in the heart strings, and a story that focused on a young woman who had dealt with many obstacles along her way.
