About this listen

Vann, the gorgeous, leather-jacket-clad new bad boy in school, just set his eyes on me.

I'm not really good at making friends. That's simply a fact. I'm happy enough if I can just get through the school day, avoid eye contact with anything that breathes, and make it home where my family can continue ignoring my existence and I can play video games in peace.

But then he crashes into my life like a tidal wave. The hot new senior at Spruce High. The bad boy everyone can't stop talking about. The one with the leather jacket, smoldering eyes, and cloud of danger following him. The one called Vann.

My whole life changes overnight. Now, I want different things. I want an end to my lonesomeness. I want to stand up to the jocks who keep pushing me around.

But most importantly, I want to know what Vann's lips taste like. And why he looks pained every time his dark eyes catch mine in class. And why he keeps paying attention to me when the rest of the town doesn't. And why every time I open my mouth to speak, my racing heart chokes me.

I don't know what's coming for me in my last year at Spruce High, but I sure hope I'm ready for it.

Contains mature themes.

This was a beautiful story with adorable characters that had me on a journey through many emotions. I loved hearing snippets from the lives of previous lead characters in this series and hope future books give insight to Van and Toby living by the beach in happiness

Excellent story

Yet again another wonderful Spruce love story!!
Loveable Toby meeting perceived hard boy Vann and their getting together. Fantastic narration as ever by Chris Chambers and a new narrator to me, Cooper North

Great romance

It was a sweet story, at least the first half of it.
Toby’s narrator was good, the other guy not so much.

*Spoiler* I feel like the third act breakup was made up, I didn’t understand why Toby turns so mean to Van and shakes him off and breaks up with him for barely any reason instead of talking to him when he supposedly loves him, meanwhile he forgives his bully of 6 years in no time. Like he literally completely cut him off for standing up for him… just doesn’t make sense

It was an easy listen but the third act breakup isn’t great (Spoiler)
