This book is absolutely amazing, with an ending that will blow you away!  Elyse is a shy teen living with a mom who is addicted to painkillers, so she hasn’t been much of a caregiver.  Elyse gets the lead in the new school play, “Romeo and Juliet” and immediately develops a crush on the drama teacher.  Gabe, the other main character in the book, is dealing with a girl who is obsessed with him and will do anything to keep him.  The story of these two teens is told realistically and in a way that the reader wants to reach out and help them in some way.  The book is fast-paced, drawing the reader into a story that is so complex that you will never see the ending coming.  This teen novel is well-written, with excellent character development and short chapters that make it easy to read and fascinating.
