“Damaged people recognize other damaged people.  It’s like a club you don’t want a membership to.”

This story is about a young woman named Beyah who has not had the easiest life.  Struggling through poverty and neglect due to her mother having a bad drug addiction.  

After her mother passed away from an overdose she finds herself needing a place to live until she goes off to college in the fall.  

Beyah calls her father to see if she can stay the summer with him but omitting to tell him about her mother.  Beyah hasn’t visited her father in a few years and barely talked to him he had no idea about her living situation.  

Upon arriving in Texas she learns she has a Stepmother Alana and a stepsister Sara.

While staying with her father Beyah meets her neighbor Samson, the rich neighbor that rents out his fathers properties during the summer.  

(Who ends up having more dark secrets than Beyah). Both of these characters are quite broken and start healing together.  Beyah is a strong character who is very loyal and easy to love.  

This story is about found family and acceptance.  I really loved this story but I do feel the ending was rushed.  With the plot twist, I feel like it was resolved too easily there needed to just be more.   However, I would still highly recommend this book.
