Jax no longer has a life. Due to his brothers' fame as a boy band, he was mobbed anywhere public he appears, even though he wanted no part of it. Forced into exile in a far away farm town with "crazy aunt Betty", Jax is ready to spend his high school senior year alone and angry... Until he encountered Sivan, one of aunt Betty's foster children... // Sivan grew up in the foster care system, after losing her entire family in one tragic day. Her next three foster families did not work out (and that's putting it mildly), and she's within a year of aging out of the system (at 18) and cast adrift in a world with no place for her. Betty's place is her last chance for any normalcy... and Jax is an unwelcome surprise... // The two, both angry at the world, slowly formed a friendship, then love. But both knew this is temporary. He's going back to his life after the mania dies down... and she would be leaving aunt Betty's place when she aged out. Should they go ahead and have the best times or their lives... or steel their hearts to avoid the inevitable heartbreak?
Awww, nice YA angst-y, but not TOO angst-y, except for the scenes of loss. And yes, there's really a darkest hour at the end. Something that can destroy them both. 5/5
