Ruthi Kight

*I was provided a paperback copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from the author*

Roxie is your typical high school junior- she wants to spend her summers partying and hanging out with her friends. She had everything she thought she ever needed in New York, parents who gave her whatever she wanted, friends she thought she would have forever, and the freedom to do as she pleased. To say she was not impressed with her parent’s decision to ship her off to South Carolina for the summer to a grandmother that she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl is an understatement. No matter how much she begged and pleaded, they would not give into her tantrums. So what if they were going through a divorce? A lot of children have to deal with that. Besides, she planned on being at the beach all summer with her best friend, Amber, anyways.

Grandma Betty was eager to have her granddaughter come stay with her on her farm, regardless of how hesitant and unreasonable Roxie was acting upon arrival. Roxie could never imagine how many ways her life was going to change that summer. All the resent she had for her grandmother who she thought never cared since she never saw nor heard from her, would soon be forgotten once the truth and secrets were revealed. Can Roxie forgive her for the years that have passed, for the relationship they never had, and learn to love the woman that was loved by so many in town?

Roxie thought she was being shipped off to South Carolina so she wouldn’t have to suffer through her parent’s divorce; what she didn’t realize is where she would find love, and by whom. She also never realized that although she had everything she ever wanted growing up, she didn’t have all that she really needed, and that was to be loved.
Read Roxie’s story, fall in love with Chase like I have. Do not be afraid to laugh, to cry, and to get upset, because this is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Kudos to the author, she captured my attention from the beginning, and I was unable to put this book down once I started ready (which was less than 24 hours ago). I am eagerly awaiting Book #2, and her Novella.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it many more times. I am a glutton for punishment. I have a feeling that this is going to suck, but as my shelf says, I have no self-control, so I'm going to torture myself by reading this book :D Who knows? Maybe it'll be good. I know, I should stop lying to myself, but what can I say? It helps me cope with my bad decisions.

EDIT: Don't diss my friends. Now I feel like being a bitch and tearing this book apart just because of that. Ready to get my snark on :O 9 More days until the carnage begins (maybe, we'll see. Who knows? The book might surprise me by being good. Doubtful, but it could happen.)

Does that make me mean? Eh, oh well. Can't please everyone.

EDIT 3/24/2013: Can I just add that I was completely ready to change my review once I found out that Ruthi had apologized to the blogger, but then someone came and insulted me, and I temporarily forgot. Then I get a different someone coming on and trying to shame me on behalf of someone #1 and the author, and that just aggravated me even more. I was still considering maybe changing it, but then I just found out that the author went to our favorite town fools, and now I don't think I'm going to change it at all. I appreciate the fact that you apologized, I even respect it. If you hadn't gone and basically shat on that by going to those people and bringing this all back up AGAIN, I would have changed my pre-review or even deleted it completely. Now I'm not going to because I don't really think you're sorry about it. I think that you're just sorry that you're getting some negative attention right now, and you want it to go away. Who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not you, and I can't read minds, but that's personally how I feel about the whole situation. … (más)
