Product Information

Turns out there might exist a heart under this tough stone cold exterior that hands out lit matches to every other book she reads. But the worst bit of all is what Porter says to Bailey about his supposed best friend, who is addicted to maybe the worst drug out there.

There is also a slight hate/love relationship that brews and it is the best developing relationship I have read in a long time.The chemistry felt real and tangible, and it was just the sort of romance that left me with a sappy grin on my face.

You plow ahead, and you make a lot of progress that other people wouldn’t make, but you can’t see what’s happening on either side of the road. I also really liked the depiction of Bailey's approach to intimacy and sex, balancing the shyness about approaching a first time with wanting sex and instigating intimacy in a way that wasn't ashamed by those wants and needs - it's a really healthy approach for the sort of audience this book is written for.

I loved the descriptions of the locales, locals, food, and the activities that she pursued while she was there. Something that just kind of bothers me: Bailey’s hair is constantly described as being like Lana Turner’s.
