Summary:
Wren is a quiet girl that doesn't stand out. Because of this, she is somewhat naive and never pushed to really take risks. Grayson (Gray) is Wren's opposite. He's a sports player, top of his class, outgoing boy. Their paths cross and the two begin a rather complicated relationship. Wren, of course, is fairly hesitant about moving forward with this boy that seems to be jumping ahead and changing her life. Gray needs to change his bad boy ways. Will the two of them fall for each other and help each other out at the same time?

My thoughts:
Overall, this is a cute romance novel. It is much like what you would expect from a young adult romance. The only issue is that Gray is so unlikeable that you aren't rooting for him to get together with Wren. He's stupid and reckless without much thought behind it. While I tend to root for the redeeming qualities of our hero, I didn't find much. He doesn't even really learn his lesson when he gets into trouble. I would have liked to see more of a change within him. It would have made the story a bit better in my opinion.
