Summary
This is a story set in the last year of High School and revolves around Millie, who is a typical teenage girl. She sees beyond the tough guy exterior of Cash Davis, the new boy in school, and falls for him. Their relationship has its ups and downs until finally there is a happy ending. I did like that Millie was an average girl with the hopes and dreams most girls have at the age of seventeen. Warning for those sensitive to obscene language: there are several occurrences throughout the book!
