Meg is drunk and playing around on a train bridge with her friends, when the cops catch them. They are arrested and sentenced to ride along for a week with either the fire department, the ambulance squad or the arresting cop. Meg hopes to get the ambulance squad because she is friends with several of the EMT's, but instead she has to ride along with the cop. What she doesn't realize is that the cop is not much older than she is and he has some really good reasons for keeping teens off of the bridge. On the other hand Meg has reasons for acting the way she does. [return][return]This was a really intersting book. On the surface it is a romance, but it delves into several deep subjects like cancer and death. I really liked how fleshed out both Meg and John's characters were. They were believable and compelling. For a teen book there were some steamy interactions between Meg and John, but not over the top. I kept wondering if they would end up together and waould I believe how it worked out but I thought the story wrapped up nicely. My one complaint is that no one falls in love in five days, maybe in lust. But I was willing to overlook that because it is a teen romance.
