Josiah Woodman and Cain Wolfram. Two cousins as different as night and day. One is the golden boy who can do no wrong. One is the wild child who can do no good. And then there was Ginger McHuid, the girl who loves them both. 
 There was so much history between these three. Growing up together, with the only common blood connecting the two boys, tensions were bound to erupt as the boys noticed that Ginger was no longer a little girl. 
 Told through triple points of view, the relationships between the three main characters are established early. Even in childhood, the pull between these characters foreshadows the challenges they will face as they age. Though the initial scenes were repeated through each character's eyes, eventually it became more of an alternating perspective, with scenes unfolding from the point of view of only one character. Having those initial scenes from all three eyes gave them more power and the foundation upon which all other emotional events would unfold. 
 I couldn't help but love all three characters. Both boys, and then both men, had their strengths and their weaknesses when it came to Ginger. Their interactions as they get older are hedged with good intentions, trying to find a balance between a romantic relationship and the friendships that have been at the core of their trio without hurting anyone, but hurt is bound to crop up with as strongly as the feeling run. 
 Even in their childhood, I could feel Ginger's dilemma, and her grandmother's warning, looming in the future. Each decision only dug a deeper hole for their pain. Ginger's decisions and each man's reaction could lead nowhere but hurt for at least one, if not more, of the characters. The constant wondering which boy she would choose and how the other would react was a driving force in the tension of the story. While this is exactly what usually irks me about many love triangles, I loved the way this one played out. There was enough that I was able to work out in my head that needed to happen, but the author kept me on my toes, second guessing myself and the characters at every turn. 
 This was a hugely emotional read for me. The choices, the consequences, the fallout. Each new turn of events had me tied fully to the book waiting for some closure, some answers. Loosely based on the Red Riding Hood fairy tale, I love the way the characters are tied to the original tale, but the story itself runs in a completely different direction.
