I enjoyed this book. It was a little uneven in places. Josh swung from charming teenage boy to OTT possessive in a not quite realistic manner at times. ( )

I don’t really know how to rate this. It says YA/NA and the characters are teens but it read like an erotica almost. Very descriptive, more sex scenes then I thought were necessary. And Josh was like obsessively controlling and domineering... which in an erotica where a reader is going in expecting an alpha/sub type relationship it’s fine, I guess (not my cup of tea) it was just a little off putting with a 15 year old H

Looking forward to book 2. I loved this story of first true love and the small Texas town, Redwood Falls. Josh and Hannah fall in love at first kiss when he saves her from the mean girls. Hannah, at fifteen, has loved him since she was 13 and feels all her dreams come true when he decides he wants her but not until she is old enough. The conflict between wealthy/poor and age are not overly exploited and the angst was genuine. I loved the family secrets, the friends that had their own love stories and the progress these characters made from start to HEA.
