All's fair in love and high school.
It was just a simple bet.
Get the school’s ice queen to go to Homecoming with him. Lane didn’t think it would be a big deal. He was on the football team. Girls liked him. He takes the challenge. What he didn’t know was that the ice queen overheard the whole thing.
Trudy was having the worst day of her life. And then she overhears Lane and Gabe talking smack about her. If Lane thought he could sweet talk her into going to Homecoming with him, he was going to be disappointed.
But when the principal forces her to tutor Lane in calculus, she’s stuck.
Trudy devises a plan to get back at him. What she didn’t plan on was losing her heart to him.

"The story attempted to tackle multiple subjects. Dyslexia, teenage suicide, cancer and death. It doesn't do a very good job at portraying any of it. The emotional depth is not there.
Trudy, the main character is rather self-absorbed and shallow. She has a terminally ill sister who stays in a hospital twenty miles away, yet only visits her for a brief time on Saturday mornings. She can't seem, or even attempt, to try and understand situations from other people's point of view. Not her mother, who is about to lose her youngest daughter. Not for her father, who uprooted his family and is dealing with a sick daughter, a suicidal daughter, medical bills and keeping the family afloat. And certainly not the boy she's too cowardly to confront about a conversation she overheard but is all to willing to jump on the bandwagon (pun intended) regarding a plan to hurt the boy put forth by a girl she just met. Seriously, who goes to, or cares about, Homecoming when their sister just died the day before?
All in all, Trudy would have been and interesting character if she had been fully developed and fleshed out more. Same goes for the storyline. The story started with a bet and we don't even find out how the boys resolve the issue, especially after what Gabe did."

- The story attempted to tackle multiple subjects. Dyslexia, teenage suicide, cancer and death. It doesn't do a very good job at portraying any of it. The emotional depth is not there.
Trudy, the main character is rather self-absorbed and shallow. She has a terminally ill sister who stays in a hospital twenty miles away, yet only visits her for a brief time on Saturday mornings. She can't seem, or even attempt, to try and understand situations from other people's point of view. Not her mother, who is about to lose her youngest daughter. Not for her father, who uprooted his family and is dealing with a sick daughter, a suicidal daughter, medical bills and keeping the family afloat. And certainly not the boy she's too cowardly to confront about a conversation she overheard but is all to willing to jump on the bandwagon (pun intended) regarding a plan to hurt the boy put forth by a girl she just met. Seriously, who goes to, or cares about, Homecoming when their sister just died the day before?
All in all, Trudy would have been and interesting character if she had been fully developed and fleshed out more. Same goes for the storyline. The story started with a bet and we don't even find out how the boys resolve the issue, especially after what Gabe did. - I couldn’t finish this book, but not because it wasn’t really well written - it is. The problem is that it hit too close to home and stripped away some of the protection I had put around my heart so that I could be strong with what I am dealing with. I was crying and couldn’t read any more. This is a really well written book and it deals really well with hard topics and shows how much we hide from others. Because of it we become really isolated. Each of us needs a friend with whom we can open up to and be vulnerable with. Trudy and Lane were that for each other. This story certainly proved the adage that you shouldn’t judge without walking in another’s shoes.
- *******WARNING********* SOME SLIGHT SPOILERS BELOW
I felt the ending to the book was incomplete.
Gabe was the main catalyst driving the plot of the novel.
Readers also learn of a secret about his real reason as to why he wanted to hurt Trudy using Lane as his pawn.
This issue should not been written off with one simple sentence.
Lane being Gabe's "best friend"-- well, Lane needed to confront Gabe not with violence but why their relationship had changed.
In spite of that disappointment, I really am giving a 4.5 rating.
I found Lane and Trudy's issues extremely intense and they gave each other more than one would expect.
Especially Trudy's main issue is extremely upsetting.
Having Lane in her life regardless of his original intent helped her immensely.
Many beautiful scenes between Lane and Trudy--and how their lives are changed by having each other to lean on. - This is a clean romance that deals with some realistic situations. I really enjoyed this book featuring Lane and Trudy. This book features attempted suicide, cancer, and cheating parents, which are tough things to have to deal with. I thought the author did a great job writing this emotional book.
- I really thought this was a good story. I have enjoyed all of Victorine's books. this had all the feels. The only thing that bothered me was that Gabe got away without any consequences at all. Actions have consequences and he got away Scott free. I would still recommend it to anyone of any age that wants a good clean book.
- I loved this YA novel. The main characters Lane and Trudy go on quite a journey as they learn to stop hating and start trusting. So, so good! Not surprised because Ms. Lieske is one of my favorite authors!
- This was so fun to read! It had all the feels of young love; insecurity, excitement, newness, and so much more. Highly recommend this book for anyone wanting clean romance.
- I had more expectensions of this book but I actually found the story kind of boring . I guess I miss the chemistry and the emotions put into words that makes a breathtaking love story.
