I started this book at 10:30pm and finished it at 1:30am, despite knowing it would leave me with a major book hangover on a busy day. It was just too good to put down. 
 I think Sarina Bowen has become an author I trust. I wasn't sure about the premise of this book - Bridger hiding his little sister in the dorms. It just seemed ridiculous and unrealistic. I'm also never a fan of child in danger stories. However, Bridgers intensity and love for his sister won me over. And as for unrealistic? The fact that Bridger is 21 or 22 and under a lot of stress makes his decisions realistic, though frustrating. 
 Scarlet's issues with her parents seemed a little over the top, but it was easy to go along with. Scarlet and Bridger together were delightful! They were also really hot! 
 I highly recommend this one. It would stand alone, but The Year We Fell Down is excellent, so I recommend reading them both!
