(Summary from Goodreads). Abram and Juliette know each other. They’ve lived down the street from each other their whole lives. But they don’t really know each other—at least, not until Juliette’s mom and Abram’s dad have a torrid affair that culminates in a deadly car crash. Sharing the same subdivision is uncomfortable, to say the least. They don’t speak.
Fast-forward to the neighborhood pharmacy, a few months later. Abram decides to say hello. Then he decides to invite her to Taco Bell. To her surprise as well as his, she agrees. And the real love story begins.
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
I actually couldn't really get into this book. At first I liked it… but after a while I didn't want to finish it. Abram and Juliette were interesting. They had an interesting back story that I wanted to know more about, but as the story goes on it was a little dragged out. Like they were just friends. I'm okay with stories like that where they start out as just friends, but it didn't seem to be going anywhere. I really wanted to like the story. I got a about 1/4th of the way through this book and had to stop. It was just a really different story with a distinct writing style.
It was not my favorite read. Like many reviews on Goodreads say, it's different. The writing, story, and characters are very different from others that you will meet.
I was really drawn to the cover though. It is really pretty and interesting. I will try to read this story again another time.
Other people might love this book, but it just wasn't for me.
Three out of five stars.
