Maise meets Evan at a carnival. The have an instant attraction and consummate that night together, and she runs off. Once the school year starts, they realized they are student and teacher, and they can't stay away from each other. Soon their lives consist of clandestine meetings and weekend trips to another city so they can be together.



But there are other forces at work. Maise's best friend Wesley thinks he's saving her, a mean-girl, Hyiam, blackmails her, and her own mother puts her in danger with a druglord. But Maise's smarter and more determined than any of them know.

It was just a bit better than okay. There was so much internal dialogue, I wanted it to stop. Although Maise had to basically raise herself, there were some things she said or thought that were just way too adult for her age or circumstance. I also didn't understand how one class could determine whether she got into the curriculum she wanted in college that you wanted. It's not like having to take math, not taking the film studies class shouldn't keep her from getting into that in college. I could be wrong, but it didn't make sense to me.

Either way, I just didn't love this as much as everyone else. It was fine though and I read through it quickly.
