Vesper Bell is a good girl. At least, that’s
what everyone keeps telling her.
She was the perfect daughter. A straight-A student. The very best friend. And
an adoring potential girlfriend.
However, when her life took an unexpected detour into darkness, suffering, and
betrayal, Vesper realized being good hadn’t gotten her anywhere. An enthralled
audience watched her dramatic fall from grace and clearly wanted her to crash
and burn. Those she once trusted the most made it no secret that they wanted
her to lose everything…and she did.
But all those years of being such a goodie-two-shoes built Vesper some powerful
cosmic karma. On her birthday, she begged for a second chance, an opportunity
to right all the wrongs and undo all the bad things she was forced to endure.
She made a wish, not knowing that sometimes they come true.
Now, right before her fall, she’s back at the beginning, and she has no plans
to be a good girl anymore.
Lucky for her, she has the perfect person to teach her how to embrace her
rebellious and daring side: a boy with candy-colored hair and eyes as dark as
the night sky. They were born on the same day, but that is about all the two of
them have in common.
Everything about him screams that he is a very bad boy, but
Vesper sees the good in him.
He doesn’t seem to care if she’s perfect or pitiful. He keeps stepping in to
save her and always makes her feel safe even when everything else feels
uncertain. He feels real and honest when the rest of her life seems to be built
on lies on top of more lies.
One thing Vesper knows to be absolutely true: the surprisingly sweet delinquent
is the very best bad thing to ever happen to her.
My Review: Ummm
I love Jay and her books, but, this was something. She does state that it's different from her normal writing though.
It starts off confusing a bit. It sounds as if she had died and gotten a second chance at life and to stop the wedding between her dad and evil lady. Cause she really is just evil for her treatment toward Vesper and obviously comes her true colors when the wedding is stopped.
But you know what, after half way, I still couldn't get sucked into this story in same fashion all her other books have done.
