It was such a great book and I loved how Sarina Bowen included certain aspects in the story. Once again this was a buddy read with Cristina My Tiny Obsessionsso HERE to read her thoughts about this book :).Ī few months ago I read The Year We Fell Down and loved it. And if they can’t learn to trust one another now, the families who let them down will take everything they’ve struggled to keep. But when grim developments threaten them both, going it alone just won’t work anymore. The two form a tentative relationship based on the understanding that some things must always be held back.

The only bright spot in his week is the few stolen hours he spends with Scarlet. Protecting his sister means a precarious living arrangement and constant deception. But a sobering family crisis takes that all away. Even if it means lying to the boy she’s falling for.īridger McCaulley is a varsity hockey star known for being a player both on and off the ice. Clutching a shiny new student ID - with a newly minted name on it - she leaves it all behind. But college will be Scarlet’s fresh start.


It’s a safe bet that Scarlet is the only first year at Harkness College who had to sneak past TV news trucks parked on her front lawn just to leave town. Now the shock has worn off, but not the horror. Scarlet Crowley’s life was torn apart the day father was arrested for unspeakable crimes.
