Goodreads Synopsis: Maddison is a survivor. An unstable childhood has taught her to depend on no one but herself, which is exactly how she’s gotten to where she is today. With a scholarship to one of the most prestigious schools in the country, she’s finally able to settle into one location until she graduates. But with foster parents hooked on drugs, Maddison is forced to steal to make ends meet, not only for herself but her foster siblings.
Kingsley is filthy rich. An only child, he lives with a mother who is dependent on alcohol, a father who doesn’t talk to him, and his chef, the only real family he has. His life changes when he overhears Maddison playing the cello. She’s snappy, hot, and wants nothing to do with him, and he’s obsessed. As they spend time together, she begins to lower her guard. She’s everything he needs, everything he wants, and for the first time, he’s able to tell someone about his past. Everything is perfect. Until he ruins it.
Review
Series: Standalone

Thoughts:
Dual POV captivating read so far. While the premise is interesting and fits, I’m not sure the setting is completely right.
I had originally assumed they were in college, freshmen or sophomores at the very least. They’re situations with the exception of Maddy being in foster care. The drugs, parties, drinking, it would have been fitting if they weren’t in high school, it would be just a tad bit more relatable, coke in high school?
Overall I enjoyed it, it was angsty and touching enough to make it worthwhile, too much to go into without giving it all away, I would recommend to my friends. If it were a series I would read the rest.
3 Stars
