Jennifer Echols

High school senior Meg revels in being a rebel; cutting class whenever possible and hanging out anywhere she's not supposed to be. Like on a railroad-tracks-covered bridge that's off-limits to trespassers. When she and her friends are busted for trespassing and underage drinking, she's sentenced to spend her spring break riding along with a rookie police officer on his nightshift patrol. To make things worse the cop, John After, is only two years older than Meg, and is sure that he knows all he needs to about her. John has nothing but contempt for her childish rebellion, but that's fine, because the feelings mutual - his straight-laced, by-the-book attitude is everything that Meg hates. But they're about to discover that they have a lot more in common than either one of them could have dreamed and, as they're forced to spend time together, sparks fly and a hot attraction between them becomes undeniable…

"Young love is such a weakness for me, when it comes to YA. I really did enjoy this. John seemed a bit young for a cop, even if they did let them sign up at 19. The role of cop made it a little harder to imagine him as still a teen and not as an older cop. It was the only thing that bugged me about this book and not even that much. It was just the moments when Meg described him as a boy that it kept throwing me for a loop. The set up of the book was good. It had me on the verge of tears in different spots. Even though Meg seemed to be on the edge for most of the book, you can tell she is hiding her vulnerable parts and it made me eager to learn why she was the way she was. Meg was definitely a character that you can't help but want to like and love. Meg isn't the only one with problems. I like how not only was Meg in need of John as John was of Meg. John doesn't have it all put together, he's still struggling with his own demons and it definitely helps put everything into prospective that neither are perfect, but human and very relatable. I had read another book by Jennifer Echols and I have found that I love the way she can tell a story. Her narrative is almost flawless. She doesn't overwhelm the reader with too many details nor with too much inner dialogue. She also has a way with projecting emotion so that the reader can experience everything the character does. I highly recommend not only this book, but anything by Jennifer Echols. This is labeled YA, but it does have some strong sexual content in here, while you don't have the actual sex in the book, it does have some pretty strong description of what is going on first."
