The best part of this book is Ford. Hands down. No question. And to be honest, he deserves someone better than Rosie. I get that sheโs supposed to be the whirlwind of a woman who can stand on her own two feet and doesnโt need a man telling her what to do. But, am I allowed to say that she just got annoying after a while?
The reason for the high-ish rating considering my disdain for the main character is the rest of the characters. I ended up loving Cora, and the relationship that she forged with Ford was a major selling point for me. Her situation was utterly crappy, and her sullen demeanor reflected that in conjunction with teenage angst very well. I loved how they bonded over a mutual love of music, and his approach to letting her know that he cared without being creepy or too overzealous.
I also liked Fordโs parents. His father is a famous musician, so he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, Cora comes to be because his father wants him to make his own way in the world. I havenโt ever read a book that took this approach, and it was a cool twist of fate. Wes adds some comedy to the plot as Rosieโs older brother, and I am intrigued by his story in book 2.
All in all, this is a very easy read with enough spice to keep you from skipping to the end. It just wasnโt my favorite.
