The story is told from Maggie's perspective. On the way to Green Falls she meets Haden at the gas station and then again at the saloon. Haden is confident yet he is hiding something from his past. Haden states that everybody is running away from something.Maggie and Haden are going to work together over the summer.Sweet first kisses and nice guys during the summer sounds like a good place to be. Maggie has trust issues with guys and usually has a ton a walls in place to keep guys at arms length, but for whatever reason Haden is different. Haden is trying to make her more spontaneous and not so structured. The story is written well. It's a great YA romance story. First love with the shyness and inexperience. The awkwardness of the first kiss and holding hands. The family drama seems to be more prominent. The pressure of doing the right thing is consuming the story and taking away from the blossoming love story. I want answers and I want both of them to reveal there past issues but something continues to stand in the way. Just when you think one of them has the courage to face a fear one of them gets scared off. It's frustrating. SECRETS, SECRETS, AND MORE SECRETS...I think I have one figured out. Hayden is the singer of that band The Believers. Everything does not get figured out in this story. Another book continues with what happened to Maggie's mom and what happens between her and Haden.It was okay. It was puzzling the relationship Maggie had with her mom. 2 book series with a novella with secondary characters.I don't know if I liked this book 2.5 - 3 stars or not. The story was fine, the characters were fine, the writing was fine. So I feel like the book was just "fine"I wish it could have packed more of a punch, the suspense wasn't great, and I wanted to get on with the story. I want the h to be more mature.I skimmed quite a bit and probably will with the second book as well.
What do You think about Ruined By You (2013)?
The writing in this felt too rushed and immature , it could have been a good storyline .
