Interesting YA novel. Lots of betrayal and misunderstandings. A little dark but mostly light romance. I'll be looking for another of their novels, "Crooked". ( )

I keep reading the McNeal's books. I like them, but I realize they have a formula: Good Girl, her Girlfriend who is good but susceptible to a Bad Boy, the Bad Boy who has a Quirky Way of Speaking, and a Sweet but Troubled Boy.

It's not a bad thing, though. When I was a kid I ate books like this up like they were soft pretzels with cheese dip. They're warm and filling and tasty.
