***

Right when Sylvia Ellington is about to start her senior year, her mother decides to have her move in with her aloof father and his "perfect" family in California. She promises to be on her best behavior, and for the most part, she's able to keep her snappy attitude in check...until she ends up meeting a mysterious boy one chilly night.

In the adolescent madness, she finds a tattooed boy named Dakota. He's ungodly tall and has crystal blue eyes that can sway any good girl to do bad things. When they first meet, he makes it his job to show that he doesn't like Sylvia—and he's got reasons.

All she has to do is disarm this bad boy and unlock the secrets he's keeping deep inside. Before they know it, Sylvia and Dakota embark on an emotional roller coaster of a relationship that is bound to ruin a few lives. But when Sylvia's own secrets come knocking on her door, will it tear them apart or will love prevail?

About the author

Hi,

I'm Alison Summers. My debut novel is titled COMPLICATIONS OF BEING ALIVE, and it is expected to be published by December of 2016. I reside in the state of California with my family. When I'm not writing, I can be found watching cooking shows more often than actually cooking, procrastinating on practically everything, and rolling my eyes at magazines.

I'd like to clarify that I write Young Adult fiction under the pen name S.R. Ackland.

I could literally make an entire review based off of my tags.

I am pretty sure this book deserves a 5/5 because I remeber loving it when I read it. Its unfortunate though that I read it last year so it can't be on my 2021 reading list. This book has a sequel called dismissing Dakota (I think I read them both on wattpad). Regardless I think I would totally reread this book some time in the future and so I recommend it to all. This can also be found on wattpad btw but I feel like the published version is more edited, and it may have extra scenes (don't quote me) I am saying you can read this on wattpad for free but the published version may be better.
