 Mia Mendez has been a walking zombie since the accident that claimed the life of her brother and changed her boyfriend's life completely. She is holding it together, but only barely. Working for a family her father hates, she is doing everything she can to keep a roof over her head, and her tuition money covered. 
 Arrow Woodison is under house arrest after spinning his life out of control. He is not happy to learn his stepmother has hired Mia to nanny for his little sister, especially since he has always wished she had chosen him instead of his best friend. 
 The accident that ties them together, that changed everything, haunts both of them for different reasons. This is not always a happy story; it is filled with grief, guilt, and a search for understanding. But the pull these two have always felt for each other may be just what they need to move past that horrible night. 
 The alternating points of view between Arrow and Mia, and alternating timelines between before and after kept the suspense and tensions high throughout the book. Even when I thought I knew what was going on, I was surprised be a new detail that left me questioning once again. 
 The side characters made for a great start to a new series. Arrow's teammates and friends should make for interesting stories of their own in the future, especially as we learn more and more about them. 
 Spinning Out had me constantly questioning a moral compass that was spinning just as fast as the story. Characters I liked were making questionable decisions and keeping ambiguous secrets. 
 There was such a range to this story, definitely more than I was expecting. I went from loving the characters to uncomfortable about their choices, to surprised and back to loving them again. I wasn't sure I'd make it back to loving them based on what I was seeing through the story, and there were times I was wondering what exactly I had gotten myself into. The twists and turns were unexpected and had me constantly questioning what was going on, and the title was definitely appropriate for what the characters are going through. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
