Sloan is not happy! She's been forced to move to Texas due to an "incident" that she was part of with her friends. Because she's a New Yorker through and through, this move has a huge impact on her outlook on life at the moment. She doesn't want to be there, she doesn't want to meet new people and she certainly doesn't want to be bothered by Tru, the boy next door. Problem is that Tru is a nice guy who's just misunderstood by those around him and is just trying to get through his own issues with his family...and that makes him hard to ignore. 
 I was expecting a light story for the most part, but this book definitely touches on some difficult topics. Tru has a difficult family life and Sloan has lost the trust of her parents. These are heavy burdens to face when you're in high school and just trying to live life the best you can. The chemistry between these two was great. Their banter was wonderful and it was nice to see how Tru maintained a positive attitude for the most part and was able to bring Sloan slowly out of her funk. They were both great characters and I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow and change. 
 My only concern with this book is that it actually had too many topics that could have been the main focus of the story...the loss of trust, Tru's family issues, the impact of the "incident" on Sloan's family, the drinking, the competition at school, Sloan's relationships back in NYC...all were touched upon but very few were done with the depth they perhaps needed. It left me feeling like I needed more. I'm hoping that there's a follow up book to address some of these issues because I enjoyed the characters and the writing very much 
 Overall, this was a good read and I hope that I'll get to see these characters again sometime!
