About this listen
"If you love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, run - don’t walk - to the nearest bookstore or library near you." (BuzzFeed)
"I couldn’t put it down!" (New York Times best-selling author Simone Elkeles)
When Tyson Trice finds himself tossed into the wealthy community of Pacific Hills, he expects not to belong. Not that he cares. After recovering from being shot and surviving the rough streets of Lindenwood, he doesn’t care about anyone or anything.
Golden girl Nandy Smith has spent most of her life building the pristine image it takes to make it in Pacific Hills. After learning that her parents are taking in a troubled teen boy, Nandy fears her summer plans and her reputation will go up in flames.
The wall between their bedrooms feels as thin as the line between love and hate. But their growing attraction won't be denied. Soon Trice is bringing Nandy out of her shell and Nandy's trying to melt the ice around Trice's heart. But with the ever-present pull back to Lindenwood, it’ll be a wonder if Trice makes it through this summer at all.

She’s an angel. And she doesn’t mind dancing with a demon. That’s why I’d move mountains, dry seas, and hydrate the desert if it made her happy. She brought goodness to the world. It was only right that I made it hers, along with the two tiny beauties that shared her hazel eyes and perfect smile. For them, I’d do whatever. For them, I’d become whoever.

Such an Exploration of Paradoxes
I think that capturing the essence of being a teenager in this world is very hard... this comes from a teenager herself. Grandison does such an amazing job of creating a beautifully crafted exploration of two worlds separating, then colliding again. The side characters were also just as interesting as the main ones, which is novel gold. This is my second time reading the book, and it’s arguably better than the first.

2hours too long
Story was stretched for too long. Coulda been wrapped up in 8 hours but hey... Male narrator was perfect but the female narrator sounded like fingernails on a chalk board. As a first round draft pick for the devil's advocate crew (lol) I really wanted Shane to have a happy ending w/ ol boy. But Oh well... it is what it is

The love story
This coming of age book was written well. I liked how the story unfolded and how their loved developed over the years. The way they came back together over the summer and how he never stopped loving her after a decade touched my heart. Honestly my favorite part of the book was how Travis and Shane was his best friend and was in his corner the entire time. I was worried how he was going to be received by the kids in the neighborhood but no one treated him worst than Nandy and her ex boyfriend. The best supporting actors go to Travis and Shane. I want to hear the love story of Kyle and Shane too.

Characters / narration
I like that each chapter was told from the perspectives of each of the main characters (nandy and trice). Like how it could’ve been the same scene (if it was a movie) but the clips go back and forth, keeping in line with the narrative. I also liked how this story is based on the authors real life, as I’ve read in the acknowledgments.

Greatly Surprised
I have to say I didn’t know what to think. It was so long… but you know what I LOVED IT!!
I loved the story and how the characters weren’t over played or over stereotyped.
If you are on the fence if you should buy and/or listen to this — don’t be, DO IT!! Get the book and listen.
I love when a story can stand alone on its own. Yes I want to know what happens to all the characters; I want Frogie to get with Shane, what happens to Khalil and does he ‘get out’, and Mandie & T’ice.
Well done to everyone and great story!!

Love too strong for 17
The story was okay with a nice ending it kind of dragged for me on some parts, like get to it already. The main thing that got to me was the age of the characters, the emotions they were feeling were too adult. Like anyone older than 20 knows 90% of the time your 1st love won’t be your last, so it just seemed fake in that aspect. Like you guys are STILL in high school and any emotions you feel at 17 are childish. If they were college students and not high school students it would have made me want to feed into the love story more.
