{ review } .
This was a story that had incredible promise. Kylie Walker's ability to write does poke through in some of the dialogue, monologue, and scenes, but at other points, aspects of her writing fell through. I enjoyed watching as Jillian fought her older, overprotective brother, as she went after the one she wanted -- Jude. After all, you always want what's bad for you, the one thing everyone tells you stay away from.
Jude was a character who could have come across extremely hard. However, I found that Ms. Walker wrote him well, with his desires for his best friend's sister, but knowing he wasn't exactly what Jillian needed in her life.
While there were definite high points to this story, I personally could not engage as much as I wanted to. The opening paragraph was lackluster and I often find that if I'm not grabbed from the very first sentence, the probability of me connecting later in the book are slim.
