Asher has just split up with her boyfriend. It didn't feel right and now she's worried she'll never fall in love. But then at a school event she spots new student Robin and feels like she must get to know her.
She soon finds out that Robin is friendly and easy to talk to, they become best friends fast and all too soon Asher begins to feel odd whenever she sees Robin with her boyfriend. Jealousy maybe? But then Robin breaks up with him and the two girls become close. Close enough that Asher finally learns what being in love feels like.
However the pair live in a small, religious town in Texas so things are not smooth sailing and Robin's father is particularly bigoted. The young couple are discovered and outed, resulting in Robin's father separating the two and Robin treating Asher awfully.
This is a reasonably well-written book that drags you through the ups and downs of first love. Everything moved very fast, possibly too fast though that is typical of teenage relationships.
The book was written by a man which seemed especially obvious during the sex scenes, particularly all the talk of their breasts, it just didn't feel particularly genuine to me. Also that ending?! all that build up for basically nothing. I was so annoyed!
4/5 stars
