Due to Mature Themes and Moderate Language, this book is recommended only for readers ages 16+. Courtney Ross has lived her whole life doing everything by the book. She's a top student, the captain of the cheer squad at her Scottsdale high school, and a nervous wreck most of the time. For summer vacation before senior year, she finally has her chance just to relax. She will be spending it with her best friend, Vanessa, in her tiny hometown of Gem City, Ohio. Courtney's hoping for a chance to breathe, and maybe even for some of Vanessa's carefree nature to rub off on her. What she doesn't expect is Ethan Fisher. Courtney knows she's in trouble the minute she sees him holding a guitar at her "Welcome Back" party. Her instincts prove to be correct as she gets to know him, and she finds her head spinning. What will this mean for the girl who always plays by the rules? In her first full-length novel, Nicole Campbell delivers a perfect beach read for the older Young Adult crowd. Readers will re-live their first relationships (the good, the bad, and the overwhelming), or imagine the spark of what the future might hold in this story full of the type of intensity only found in young love.
