This was all kind of cute…but totally unbelievable. The writing was excellent, the premise was cute, the characters were adorable….but the plot?! The story takes place over a 24-hour period, which isn’t a lot of time to break up with a girlfriend, grieve a lost parent, make few friends, change your viewpoint on life, and, OF COURSE, fall in love.

It’s dual narrated by Brighton and Jonah. Brighton is the sickeningly nice rich kid. Jonah is the bitter, poorer kid whose mother forced him to move in his senior year of high school and he hates everyone etc. etc. Obviously they hate each other. Obviously I shipped it.

A lot of disbelief had to be suspended. Because mostly the entire plot hinged on this unlikely chain of events that threw Brighton and Jonah CONTINUALLY in each other’s presence.

So it was cute and entertaining but…unbelievable. It reminded me of Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley.
