Seventeen-year-old Rachel Hill is the girl most likely to succeed. And the girl most likely to have everything under control . . . that is, until her dad invites Nick McGowan, the cutest boy at school, to live with them. Rachel worries that this could only be a recipe for disaster, but her best friend Zoe thinks it’s the perfect opportunity for lurve. Sparks start to fly for all the wrong reasons. Nick finds Rachel spoiled and uptight and Rachel dismisses Nick as lazy and directionless. But a secret from Nick’s past draws them together and makes the year Nick McGowan came to stay one that Rachel will never forget.©2008 Rebecca Sparrow; (P)2008 Listening Library Coming of Age Difficult Situations Family & Relationships Fiction Friendship Growing Up Literature & Fiction Racism & Discrimination Romance

I got this book because of the narrator after listening to a different book she narrated. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. My only complaint is it is an awfully short book to spend a whole credit on, but I don't regret the decision at all.
