Your first kiss is supposed to be sweet. Ours was baptized in fire.

I was the new girl trying to find her place.

Landon was the brooding neighbor I tutored over the summer.

I didn’t know he was a legend at Black Mountain Academy.

I didn’t know they worshipped him like a religion.

But I fell for him before I knew those things.

To me, he was just the tortured soul who drew me in like a magnet.

And then he did something so unspeakable, so unforgivable, it shattered me.

I ran away then because I was weak, but I’ve shed my tears.

He stole my heart and my dignity, and I’m here to take it back.

The only problem is… he’s not giving it up without a fight.
MY REVIEW
Kailani thought he was just the guy she was tutoring. She had no idea he was famous, that he held such power at her new school. But when he invites her to a party, her eyes are opened to the reality of Landon, of Black Mountain Academy. And she's never the same after that night, and not in a good way...

Now she's back here after 2 years of being gone. She's not the same girl Landon knew back then. She's confident, she's angry, and she's determined to make him pay, and to not let him break her like he did before. What neither knows, though, is that there are outside forces just itching to make life difficult for both of them, forces that don't want them in the same room together, let alone in love. Will Kailani and Landon make it through their anger at each other?

I ❤❤❤ this high school bully romance. It's sort of light on the bully, but rife with pain and betrayal, definitely a teen love story, with two fully drawn leads. Kailani and Landon are perfect for each other, even if they had to go through the most ridiculous obstacles and amount of pain to finally be together. Ashleigh Zavarelli is one of my favorite writers, and it's stories like Landon and Kailani's that put her on my favorites shelf.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
