Ashley Davis is over her high school 'bitch' label and has
decided to reinvent herself. College offers a new beginning, a chance to be
different. After being assaulted, she's realized that she needs to change and
college is just the place to do it. Nobody knows the Ashley she used to be and
she'd like to keep it that way.
Afraid of falling into the same patterns she decides that having no friends, no life and focusing on school is the way to go, but she didn’t bank on someone like Mac as her roommate or the tall, dark and completely geek hot in his glasses, Zeke Whitman.
Ezekiel (Zeke) Whitman is driven and focused when it comes to
school. When he's forced to partner with a tall, leggy blonde with a slight
attitude, he's thrown for a loop. With so much at stake, Zeke can’t afford
distractions and Ashley is certainly that. From their first encounter Zeke sees
more than just another gorgeous girl.
As Ashley grapples with leaving the ‘old’ her behind, she
realizes that sometimes changing tunes isn't as easy as it sounds. Sometimes
you have to keep a little of the person that you were, in order to become the
person that you want to be.
Review
I love Heather Gunter. I do. I love her
and I love her stories. I think each story she has written has been better than
the last. This was no exception. Except it did take her to a whole new level. While
I have enjoyed all of her work, this was my favorite. She showed a lot of
growth and a lot of change in this story both in the characters and in her
writing style. Color me impressed!
I was immediately drawn to Zeke. There
was something about him that right away drew me in. Then as I learned more
about him, I was more drawn to him. I fell in love with his devotion to Ashley
as well as his devotion to his family. I enjoyed watching his success despite
his circumstances. A lot of times we see the negative side of his situation,
but his family was supportive and pushed him to be successful in all areas. And
the way he loved Ashley despite her faults was inspiring.
And Ashley. I really didn’t like her in the
other books. She was just not a nice person. But this one changed. What
happened at the end of the last story really changed Ashley for the better. I
really enjoyed getting to know her better and understanding her. Her dad. I
wanted to murder him. What an awful, awful man. But out of that awful man came
a girl who grew in to a beautiful person both inside and out. I found that
throughout the story, I fell in love with Ashley and her spirit.
I cannot wait to read more about these
characters!
