Life sucks for orphans Callum Tate and Harper Bailey.

Kicked out of their foster homes because they suffer the 'eighteen disease' with nothing but a hundred dollar check from the government and a pat on the back, they're forced to rely on a system that failed them miserably.

So they sit. They sit inside Social Services, waiting for their social workers to call their names and offer them the miracle they know will never come but they sit anyway because they have nowhere else to go, no other options on their very literal and figurative empty plates.

But as they sit, they notice the other. Although captivated, they each come to the conclusion that life is complicated enough without throwing in a boiling tension that can't ever be acted upon because they're both too busy thinking about where their next meal will come from but when their names are called and both are placed on a year long waiting list for permanent housing, suddenly relying on each other seems like a very viable plan B.

And, oh, how lovely Plan B's can be.

Well, except for the psycho from Harper's past that haunts her and, oh, yeah, there's the little issue that neither of them knows they're in love with the other.

Needless to say, Callum & Harper's life just got a bit more complicated.

“One day, you and I are gonna’ wake up and be alright. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day. One day. I promise you.” - Callum Tate

Dividida...

Esse livro me deixou com um sentimento confuso... houve momentos em que amei a leitura e me apaixonei completamente por ele...

E em outros só conseguia pensar "What a Hell?!"...

Mas fora alguns momentos realmente sem noção (ficava pensando esse maluco é o primo ruim do super-homem, só pode!) o livro é muito doce e envolvente.

Mas é uma leitura que vale a pena. Fala de amor, amizade, superação e como família pode ser construída de varias maneiras e não apenas por laços sanguíneos.

Diria que é um fofo com momentos crazy.
