Publisher's Summary

"Jessica Hawkins weaves a tale of forbidden love in epic proportion." (Corinne Michaels, New York Times best-selling author)

It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet, we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn't be broken...no matter how hard we tried.

I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, his struggle to keep me innocent, and infinitely starry nights - I would wait. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. My older sister saw him next.

Book one in the completed Something in the Way series, a USA Today best-selling love saga.

DNF twice

I bought and returned this book twice (years apart). With all the rave reviews I expected to be taken in by this story but it just didn’t grab me.

Suited for a younger teen audience. protagonists are teens to early 20s.

The narrators voices were fantastic and they told the story well.
The story seems like it was written many years ago, so not relatable in today's world.
It ended abruptly?
