Beautiful, Passionate, Raw, Incredible, Funny in a twisted way, Heart-breaking 

and unforgettable !

I don't want to give anything away but I do because this story was YES! that amazing that you

 just want to blab to everyone and their mother about it.

Nastya Kashnikov had the perfect life and a promising future ahead of her until that one 

afternoon. Now, she only wants to find the boy who destroyed her future and find out why 

he did it. Without any will to keep enjoying life as she did before she just wants to get through 

high school unnoticed. 

Josh Bennett has nothing left to live for, literally nothing. Because no one knows how to deal 

with a seventeen year old boy with no family they all leave him alone. It's like he has an 

invisible shield around him and Nastya wants just that, to be left alone. 

Nastya becomes intrigued by Josh's don't-mess-with-me-I-want-none-of-your-pity-attitude 

and can't help but keep showing up at his garage while he works on furniture (his hobby). At first 

Josh doesn't understand why she always shows up but then becomes use to it. In a strange way 

they develop the closest relationship you can think of without really knowing each other if that 

makes any sense. Josh does open up to Nastya but the hints she gives him about her past scare 

him to want to know the rest of her story.

This book is so beautiful and funny at the same time, I'm just going to leave it at that because 

finding out everything as you read it makes it that much more amazing. As I was reading this book 

The supporting characters were amazingly portrayed especially Drew. That boy needs a book of 

his own I'm telling you. Some parts in the book made me feel like I was watching a classic 

John Hughes movie like The Breakfast Club.

Intense sadness and happiness all wrapped in to one with glimmering 

hope is what this book is.
