Jon Scott has led anything but a
privileged life. After his father passes away, he is left to care for his two
half-brothers while his mother’s alcoholism threatens to tear his family apart.
All he wants for himself and his brothers is a better life. His dreams for an
Ivy League education are coming to fruition, thanks to a lifetime of hard work
and ambition. This is not only important to Jon himself; he also knows that the
man who will win Livvy’s heart has to be someone exceptional. Her father would
accept nothing less–and Jon believes that Livvy deserves the best of
everything, too.
That may be the only thing Jon and
Livvy’s father agree upon.
Over the course of their courtship,
these two teens will experience the bliss of true love, but their immaturity
and differing lifestyles will also threaten to tear them apart. They both begin
to question the other’s devotion and commitment; only time will tell if their
first love is meant to last a lifetime. —summary courtesy of Lori L. Otto
MY REVIEW - Amazing coming of age story
Teenagers always want to grow up too
fast, and perhaps the thing I loved most about this book (and related to so
much) was the pushing, pushing, pushing of Livvy, and to a certain extent Jon,
and the struggle of Emi and Jack to give enough freedom but not too much. Both
teens realised that they were asking for, perhaps, more than they could
realistically handle. And I loved this growth of character.
