{My Thoughts} – This book is about to main people. Lacey and Drake. They come from separate worlds and in the end are torn between what world they want to be a part of.
Lacey is a smart well rounded girl that is extremely logical and knows from hard experience what it is like to be a part of the real world. She understands that life isn’t a fairytale and that you have to work hard to get anywhere.
Drake is a spoilt rich boy that has always had everything given to him. He hasn’t been forced to grow up with mommy and daddy always helping him. He doesn’t understand the cold hard facts of life. However, throughout the book he begins to learn some of the lessons in life that his parents failed to teach him.
This book all and all was alright. I struggled through the first 29 chapter because it was a bit boring to me. It picked up a lot after that point. It’s a well written book, I just think the beginning chapters could have had more to them, I suppose is what I am trying to say.
Final Conclusion: 4 Star Rating.
