Sort of a tough subject and I am at a loss where I start so I guess first up is the character of Jamie Grey. He is pretty rich in the sense that he was with a family as a foster kid for several years and just when he was about to get adopted the father figure for him passed away. It was sad learning about all of the homes and awful parents that exist. With respect to that, the author did an amazing job of showing the mental and sometimes physical abuse suffered at the hands of a foster parent. The story picks up Jamie at his senior year. He comes to the home of Beckett Chase. She is a nasty, complex and bitchy senior too. The two clash, making for a very unique web of lies. When I say that Beckett is the most adored and hated girl at the same time I mean it. It is hard to imagine but, YES someone can be in the hated popular girl clique.

What I really enjoyed was the hateful girls. I always adore angst, this one serves it up hot and fresh.

Each chapter stated with another reference and quote about the constellations. Jamie is so into astronomy and Beckett just happens to have glow in the dark sparkling stars on her ceiling. They sort of bond over Jamie explaining some of the.

The author did a great job with Beckett's family. Her parents David and Marla whom she refers to as David and Marla, provide the right swift kick in her ass when she needs it.Usually you would think that the parents being privileged would overlook some of Beckett's behavior, but no they don't. I like how her mom calls her out and knows when she is telling the truth.

Being Beckett Chase has never wanted or needed anything, and it is not flaunted. I appreciated that there were no references to her glamour or the BMW she drives. It was a "nice and cozy" life, but nothing that screamed typical. For that I was thankful.

With a twist of events causing Jamie and Beckett’s worlds to collide, will they be able to put aside their differences or will fate intervene offering an entirely different option?
The addition of Samantha as the first sort of best friend Jamie has is bizarre. It is one of those small world sotries. Sam is the one and only person who Jamie feels close to. So once again kudos for the mind blowing addition of Sam!

Jamie Grey has been moved around in the foster care system from an early age. He is very close to his 18th birthday and just passing the time until he will be free to live his life on his own. Fate has something else in mind. When his current foster home becomes a problem he is moved yet again. His social worker pulls some strings to get him into the very nice home of a personal friend for the remainder of his time in the system. He is surly at best about the situation and moving again. On the outside Jamie looks and acts like a badass. He doesn't exactly believe in happily ever after with families or relationships. He certainly doesn't expect to walk in and find the new family has a daughter his age. Beckett Chase has an attitude to match Jamie's step by step. She has lived a life of privilege - private schools and the best money can buy. She certainly doesn't want Jamie coming in and disturbing her life at home or at school.... at first.

This was a sweet book about two characters who each had a bad reputation that was entirely false. They were perfect examples of not judging a book by it's cover. I really felt heartbroken for Jamie who was given the rotten end of the deal in life. Yet he persevered through the adversity. He was such a noble character in many ways - I just couldn't help but love him. It's truly a miracle that he became such a knight even after everything he was put through.

Beckett was quite an enigma. She kept her feelings close to her chest and it took me a little while to figure out her secrets. In some ways she had the rotten end of the deal because of the lifestyle and influences of her friends giving her a bad reputation that was not deserved. In order to find herself she had to face social alienation which was admirable.

In the end I really loved these characters together and how they healed each other. The alternating points of view helped me to understand where each of the characters were coming from and connect with them. They each risked everything to be together and I absolutely loved that. It was great to see Jamie get the family and love he deserved as well as Beckett finding someone who loved her for who she was on the inside.
