Charlie and Rose are two very different people living in two very different worlds. But each year, on her school vacation, Charlie leads to visit and stay with her grandparents, who live right next door to Rose. Unfortunately, Charlie’s grandmother has passed away and this is her first visit without her. Every time she has come to visit, Rose and her friends have ignored her and made no attempts to be friendly, except for Dave. Now, Rose seems to want to be friends and Charlie isn’t sure why, but she isn’t complaining. She finds herself becoming friends with Rose, and eventually, even with Rose’s boyfriend Luke. Her and Dave, will, they seem to be becoming more then friends.
Rose has never wanted to hang out with Charlie before, but now that she has been accepted into a science school in the city, where Charlie lives, she wants something from her. Her parents won’t let her go to the school, but Rose is hoping that she can live with Charlie and get to go to the school of her dreams. She just wants to get out of this small town before she gets trapped there like her mother. Unfortunately, Charlie finds out about the motives behind her friendship and wants nothing to do with her. Will she be able to fix things?
This book was definitely not what I was expecting…it was so much more! I enjoyed every moment of this book. The only thing that surprised me was that Charlie still spoke to her dead mother and grandmother, as if they were there. It made the book unique. At times I didn’t like Luke, but Dave and Charlie were perfect and I was definitely glad that they got together in the end. Rose definitely grew on me by the end, although there were a few times I wasn’t crazy about her. All the characters went together perfectly and played off of each other really well I would definitely recommend this book!
