She finds her best friend in an unlikely girl at school, joins the dance team, struggles with which college to attend, and juggles family issues all at the same time. She goes from being friendless and so focused on her future in the beginning of this story that by the end she has A LOT more going for her. Even though upon meeting they have an instant attraction to one another, he does help shape the person she becomes at the end of this story.
It's a story about Emma finding herself with the help of Dylan (her foster brother). While the synopsis of this story does make it seem that this is more about a secretive relationship it is so much more than that.
So what does Emma do? She writes her journal entries to Catherine, of course, which was such a nice touch to the story and where you can see the most similarities between this and Wuthering Heights. This is a reimagining of Wuthering Heights, and I have to say I was a little intimidated since I've never read it before, nothing a little spark notes can't fix though! Emma's class is reading Wuthering Heights and on top of that her teacher requires that they spend the first ten minutes of class writing in their journals. This truly reads like a YA contemporary with just enough romance, it isn't overly done which I can totally appreciate. Some readers may view the foster sibling relationship as taboo but it was handled extremely well by the author. I am a sucker for all things when it comes to secret/forbidden romances.
First things first, HOW INSANELY GORGEOUS IS THAT COVER?!?! I've taken so many pictures of it, it's just so damn photogenic 😁!Īnyway, there's a few words that instantly sold me on this book, and those are all-consuming, passionate, and secretive.
