(2) YA Sophomore Bettina is thrilled to be dating adorable Brady Cullen, who even won over her strict Greek American dad. Then the once-charming Brady turns possessive and violent, and Bettina finds herself falling for an older guy, a kind twenty-something named Cowboy. Connor lets Bettina's realization of the situation play out slowly, a choice that deepens characterization and elevates the book above simple problem-novel territory.
