About this ebook
Sometimes finding love means taking the scenic route ...
Living with her faultfinding mother has taught Leslie not to ask for much. Just watch your step, stay on the sidelines, and take what you can get. But she wants a mom who thanks her for cleaning the kitchen instead of yelling at her for missing a spot, and a boyfriend who does more than score her a seat at the popular table—someone who actually notices her sitting there.
So when Cain, the school heartbreaker, turns his Carolina blue eyes her way, Leslie can’t help but be tempted, even if he’s her boyfriend’s best friend. Things get even more complicated when Leslie strikes up unlikely friendships with Meredith, Cain’s girlfriend, and Dennis, a boy addicted to cigarettes and solitude. Despite his tough exterior, Dennis seems to understand Leslie in a way that no one ever has, and to need her as much as she needs him.
For the first time in her life, Leslie feels like she could belong. She’s just not sure where.
Riley Graham
Riley Graham lives in North Carolina with her husband, two dogs, two cats, and an embarrassing number of dust bunnies. She likes books, TV marathons, diet soda, and naps.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I finally found some time to read this book. I wasn't able to stop. I connected to the main character, and there were times when I knew exactly how she felt, because I had the same experience in my life. I really though she would go for Cain at the beginning, because all the story was connecting her with him. But the moment Dennis came, I knew something's going to happen and it's going to last forever.. Such a good book. Thanks Riley ! <3
P.S: I really loved the bookmarks I got ! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There are no words to describe how deeply I was touched by this book. It tugged on so many different heart strings--one minute I was happy crying and 20 minutes later I was ugly girl crying. All of those awkward emotions and insecurities and new experiences from my high school years came rushing back to me in vivid color. The beauty of reading great YA fiction in my 30s as opposed to in my teens, is that I can relate to the characters from many perspectives--as a mother, a daughter, a wife, a girlfriend, etc.--which only increased my emotional involvement in the story. This book was just so REAL for me...I'm speechless. Highly recommended!!!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a really cute fast read. I enjoyed getting to know Leslie, Meredith, and Dennis and seeing them overcome so much in their young lives.
Leslie was a typical teenager, with a mother that was stressed and often took it out on her. Meredith was shown at first to be your typical high school cheerleader, but in reality, she became a very good friend to Leslie. Dennis seemed to be your loner and while I was curious as to why he was that way, I was not left to wonder for long.
I was pleased with the ending of the story and how you could watch each character grow through the book.
