I was recommended to this book by a friend, and she warned me it was a bit intense. It's written in YA style, but it deals with some pretty crazy issues.
The story is about a girl named Sky who meets a boy named Holden. She is homeschooled by her mom (who also doesn't allow any kind of technology in the house) and decides to go to high school for her senior year. She starts a relationship with Holden, and discovers more about herself as their relationship progresses. It's not your normal "find yourself" type of relationship, as most of what she discovers pertains to her past.
It's a great story, but it deals with subjects such as abuse and isn't to be read lightly. Definitely not your happy go lucky love story. The book makes you think a lot about what you would do in a similar situation. I can't say much about the situations without giving away the main story of the book. The main character is your typical teenager, and she deals with situations like bullying, peer pressure, and boys. That part of the story I think everyone can relate to, and it adds some interest to the storyline. You really think THATS the main plot until you get further into the book and realize that something much deeper is going on. Then, the story gets interesting :). Worth a read, if you don't mind some dark issues.
