Daisy
and Daltrey have been friends since they were 5. The book starts with their
first meeting and the jumps ahead to when they are 19. They haven't spoken in
over a year because Daisy cut him out. It takes a while to find out why she cut
him out which is probably the only reason I continued to read the book.
Spoilers!!!!
Daisy dated a guy from school after Daltrey left for Hollywood. He took compromising photos of her and shared them around school. She was then bullied by pretty much everyone at the school and the school wouldn't do anything to help her. She did something she regretted and is trying to get back from that. With all the drama in her life she didn't want to bring Daltrey down.
My issue with the book is the timeline does not make any sense what so ever. Daltrey and Daisy are the same age. It is said a number of times in the book that they are the same age. Yet it should be his senior year and he leaves for Hollywood when all of Daisy's drama goes down. What happened to school? And what 18 year old has a year of high school left? If only a year has gone by since he left how did Daisy finish high school and get a year of college done all while being in a mental hospital. It seems like there should have been two years between the time Daltrey left and when they see each other. Why couldn't the author have said that two years had gone by. That would have made sense. When something like a timeline doesn't match I can't enjoy the book because I'm trying to figure out how this all works.
I will not be reading anything else by the author.
