Jaden McEntyre and
Parker Whalen are a wrong fit from the start. Jaden is driven and focused,
Harvard Med School within reach. Parker has a past-a reputation-and the rumors
about his mysterious habits abound. So there’s no reason why, when they’re
assigned to work together on a project in English, they should discover they
have anything in common, or even like each other, and they definitely shouldn’t
be falling in love.
As they bond over
Edith Wharton’s tragic novella, Ethan Frome, the “bad boy” vibe Parker plays
begins to dissipate. Soon, Jaden finds herself shedding her own “good girl”
image: sneaking around to be with him, confiding in him, and ultimately falling
hard for this leather-wearing, motorcycle-driving loner who plays into the
rebel stereotype.
Still, Jaden can’t
shake the feeling that there’s more to Parker than he’s letting on. He’s hiding
something from her, and discovering the truth means reconciling the Parker
she’s grown to love with the person he really is. Because it’s possible that his
life inside the classroom-everything Jaden knows-is one, massive lie.
I am giving this book a 3.5. It was definitely a good read-fast
and interesting, but there were some things missing that I wish we could have
seen. Maybe I skimmed over it, but I don’t remember reading what happened when
Parker’s parents, and the rest of her family, found out about Harvard. That
really bothered me. The ending though, or at least the near ending, was not AT
ALL what I expected it to be. I was totally and completely blindsided. The story
itself, was good. It was cute, pretty light-hearted, but interesting enough to
keep my attention.
