Buckle up for this one. It was 100% worth a listen for me, but if you are not a fan of some heavy trigger warnings (things happen off ‘page’), I probably wouldn’t choose this one.

This is my second Jay Bell book, my first being Out of Time Into You, which turned me into a puddle of tears.

In this story, things seem to start out sweet and calm for a few hours, but watch out, your heart will be squeezed and bruised.

I was so there for this, since I’ve been reading a lot of sugar-sweet books that haven’t had me gasping and clutching my pearls.

Observations: IMHO, these high schoolers are absolutely wild and pretty much the opposite of my peers and me: always drinking, partying, smoking weed, and being super casual about sex (or sex positive depending on your perspective). The parents in this story are incredibly hands-off but accepting of their children.

Notes: No explicit smut. The suspense emotional rollercoaster are what will have your heart pounding.
