 The story was supposed to be about: 1) Lilah moving home after an extended period of time, 2) her former best friend, Chase, also moves into her house, 3) they try to deal with what happened in their families' past that drove Lilah away, and 4) Lilah learns secrets about the people in the town. The latter sort of happened but it was glossed over. 
 Lilah's life was filled with rawness from heavy issues from her childhood that still plagued her as a young adult. The issues felt real, and her heartache was taxing, but still, Chase fights for her, which was ultimately the core of the story and maybe the most redeeming quality. Other than that, the story was not too memorable and not impactful. The book tried to do too much but it fell flat.
