In the rodeo town of Pendleton, Oregon, 17-year-old Maura lives with her sister and single father, Mike. When her father’s diabetes threatens to take his foot, Maura is left to care for her younger sister while Mike spends his final steps hunting in the Blue Mountains.

Meanwhile, Maura's teenage neighbor, Alex, is spending the summer babysitting his alcoholic grandfather and fending off a hardcore crush on her.

Though nothing about their summer has been easy, it becomes far more challenging when Mike’s return date comes and goes with no sign of him. Determined to bring Mike home and win Maura’s heart in the process, Alex takes Maura on a three day expedition into the wilderness.

A sweet romance for fans of Kasie West and Huntley Fitzpatrick.

I am going to start by saying that I really loved this book! I had never read anything by the author before, but was intrigued by the title, premise and cover. I am so happy to say that I was not disappointed. This book had so many things that I think make a great YA book. Both main characters had plenty of plausible baggage and each had depth to them. Chapters were narrated by alternating first person perspectives, and the writing style for each character was different. Inner dialogues and conversations were never stilted or awkward. They flowed naturally. The story involves two characters, Maura and Alex, getting to know and depend upon each other at the same time as they each get to know and learn they can rely on themselves. Alex and Maura developed in such a way that they built each other up rather than becoming codependent, which I appreciated. They are both strong, likable characters, and the issues that they are each dealing with made the story original and believable. The supporting characters all added to the story while leaving the reader feeling like that they each had their own story to tell, too. One thing that I really liked about this book is that the author created very realistic teen characters. They were sometimes bold and sometimes shy, both confident and unsure of themselves, endearingly awkward and flawed. I liked that while chemistry becomes increasingly strong between Maura and Alex as the story progresses, their relationship is not filled with angst, nor is it rushed. There are joyful and painful discoveries throughout the book, and in my opinion, it never drags. While I saw a complaint about the ending of the book in reviews before I purchased it, I disagree. I found the ending to be very realistic, leaving both the characters and the reader with an uplifting feeling about the power of love and of healing. I strongly recommend this book to teens and fans of YA fiction. You will not be disappointed!

A beautiful and well written teen romance. It is written with dual POV including suspense, laugh out loud moments, giving a rollercoaster ride of emotions, and including dysfunctional families, romance, and sarcastic teenage wit in a smooth flowing storyline. The characters are realistic,interesting and relatable with a slow built up of friendship, chemistry and their own set of baggage as they journey towards a unexpected twist at the end. The narration is done well giving added life to an enjoyable story.

I haven't read very much teen romance, but was glad to have picked up this book. The characters had a surprising amount of depth. They weren't heroes and villains, but actual human beings living in a real world. I laughed out loud several times at the wit and humor in the dialog. To be honest, I also cringed at times-- only because the author doesn't make every conversation perfect, but sometimes awkward as is in real life, and I actually felt like I was there listening. I personally liked the twist at the end--I didn't see it coming! It can be hard to navigate away from a typical romance ending. I appreciated that the plot was based on so much more than the relationship between the two main characters. They were thoughtful, smart, caring people whose bond wasn't simply physical, (which defines so many love stories these days) but also based on respect and understanding.

This book took me some time to get into but I am glad I stuck to it. The characters are great. By the end I was reading as fast as I could. I will not say if the end is good or not. That is for the reader to decide. But I do recommend this book!

So this book was okay not the best but not the worst. I honestly hated how the book ended though it feels like it was cut off too soon like if your talking and cut off mid sentence, thats how the book ended it needed a few follow ups on what happend next. It was a cute book with the blooming love interest and also deals with deep emotions. It was an okay book and i did enjoy parts of it thouh

4.0 out of 5 stars Gritty but good
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019

This is a story with some pretty realistic characters from the grimmer side of life - children out of wedlock, abandonment, alcoholism - and yet surprisingly positive within its context.

That said, the characters do talk & think a lot like you might expect in real life (well, actually in real life it would most likely be far worse), so it's definitely PG-13, parents.

Maura and Alex are attracted to each other & become the emotional support for one another that the adults in their lives are failing to provide. They're aware of sex but also aware of its potential consequences.

It's touching to see a secondary character that had effectively given up on life begin changing for the better as he recognizes the kids' need for him.

The ending is a bit abrupt, but after rereading it, I found it satisfying. I believe that it's the best happy ending the author could give (& don't mistake me, it is happy just not traditionally so) without being blatantly dishonest to the story.

*Clean romance level: sweet kisses, fairly frank teen level talk about sex but no details and nothing graphic, secondary character tokenly comes out as gay

*Religion: secular with several unfortunate instances of using God/Lord/Jesus/Christ's Name in vain - realistic perhaps, but not necessary or considerate of readers

*Language: a couple of f-bombs, a handful of d*mns, & several dozen sh*ts & h*lls

*Parents: clearly discretion is advised here, but for your older teens, it's a great opportunity to talk about some major heavy real life issues, material as well as spiritual, within a relatively positive context

This books starts with what seems to be an everyday life for Maura. Her younger sister is her responsibility, her mother long gone and her father crumbling before her eyes. Left along for 30 days while her father decides to go on a long trip out in the Blue Mountains, Maura soon finds herself drawing the attention of Alex, who's only in town for the summer. The book was beautifully written and an amazing story that had me crying for a happy ending. It was well told and switched between Alex's point of view and Maura's, along with a few from Mike's as well. I loved the way it opened up and developed and I loved it completely. Very good story and very enjoyable!
