Do you remember that moment? That one moment. The one when you changed. People might say it was this or that, but deep down you know. You know exactly what that moment was. Even if you're not ready to admit it to yourself. You know. I remember mine, it didn't just change me. It changed everything. Everyone thought Mason Knight was the whirlwind that swept me away. But nothing compares to those two shots. Those two shots woke me up and made me see that when we fall, sometimes we need help to get back up.

4.5 stars.

Gah! This book was SO close to 5 stars for me! Mature YA is my jam and this book was right up my alley!
I loved Mason and Erin. They’re great and the things they endure... it’s true and it’s real. I loved that about this book, that it didn’t hide the things that do go on, that do happen.
Where it fell down for me was it felt rushed. I’d love to see everything more fleshed out. I felt things turned too quickly or were kind of swept over when they should’ve been given the time and attention they deserve. There’s a lot of real in this book and it needs to be given time to breathe, to develop, not just mentioned almost like it was on a list of “must include for high school dramas”.
I also think Scottie needs to be a bigger character. She kind of disappears in the middle of the book.
Also, the constant use of “erm” was incredibly distracting. I know what it was intending to show, but I think it was overused.
So, really close to 5 stars for me, with a little polish and a bit more depth it could’ve been an absolute must-read for me, but it is definitely something you should give a go.

P.S the cover is beautiful, even if it does have shades of Erin Watt in it.
