Review

Madison has life all figured out: she's on track to become an architect, she and her mom have a good life, and she has a hot boyfriend. That's when life throws her some surprises. She starts to fall for the Starbucks barista where she and her mom frequent after yoga class. Then her mom fesses up that she's been lying to her about who her dad is, and he's actually been a part of her life for as long as she can remember as a friend of her mom's. Madison struggles with how to deal with her feelings about the new boy and her new father.

The story ends well on all accounts for Madison. There's not a ton of conflict, and the new boy seems to be perfect. While it's a fine story, there's nothing about this book that is original or stands out. Purchase only where teen romances are popular.

Overall Book Score: good
