About this eBook
Kensington Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best friends, her posh private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with her piano until her audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the best music programs in the world.Instead, a nightmare took over.
It didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly—a tiny thread that evil somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from her. She was suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an existence she didn’t choose—one determined to destroy her from the inside, leaving only hate and anger behind. It didn’t help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.
Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that’s spoken about in whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined with Kensington’s, every interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen Harper was consumed with darkness, and it held onto his soul for years. When Kensington looked at him, she saw a boy who’d gotten good at taking others down when they threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she looked, the more she saw other things too—good things…things to admire.
Things…to love. Things that made her want to be reckless.
And those things…they were the scariest of all.

I could never do justice to the way in which Ginger Scott weaves a story, but these two kids had my heart in knots right up until the very end. There's an authenticity to them that you simply don't find in many YA books, and while there's certainly drama in their lives, it feels genuine, like something that could happen to the people next door rather than the usual melodrama you'd find in teen romances. It's the utterly realistic roller coaster ride that is the very definition of the teenage experience, complete with disillusionment and heartbreak, all-consuming first love, and the kind of hope that only comes from weathering a wild storm. It's impossible not to love the characters, the story, and ultimately the way Ginger Scott perfectly captures the teenage experience. ***FicCentral received this book from Wordsmith Publicity for free in exchange for an honest review.

& their beautiful love story and I'm not sure I'll get over it anytime soon, or find something to fill the void of the love between these two characters. This entire novel was so original compared to a lot of books . My heart hurt for Owen and everything he went through and i have to say it was a real encouragement to read (even though this is not a true story) this book and how he and Kensington got through things - great read. I will definitely be adding more of Ginger Scott's books to my library

Ginger Scott is an Amazon-bestselling author of seven young and new adult romances, including Waiting on the Sidelines, Going Long, Blindness, How We Deal With Gravity, This Is Falling, You and Everything After and Wild Reckless.
A sucker for a good romance, Ginger’s other passion is sports, and she often blends the two in her stories. (She’s also a sucker for a hot quarterback, catcher, pitcher, point guard…the list goes on.) Ginger has been writing and editing for newspapers, magazines and blogs for more than 15 years. She has told the stories of Olympians, politicians, actors, scientists, cowboys, criminals and towns. For more on her and her work, visit her website at http://www.littlemisswrite.When she's not writing, the odds are high that she's somewhere near a baseball diamond, either watching her son field pop flies like Bryce Harper or cheering on her favorite baseball team, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ginger lives in Arizona and is married to her college sweetheart whom she met at ASU (fork 'em, Devils).
