Happy Monday my friends, and I have today a great Tour Stop for all those among you who love a good, sweet and romantic Young Adult Contemporary!
Sometimes boy meets girl, and the stars align, and their future is laid out neatly before them. Together forever. Meant to be. But Max and Loren are not one of those couples.
Guest Post from Patricia:Ā
Why Max and Loren are perfect for each other- Ā share some tiny little tidbits about their relationship?
Max are Loren are perfect for each other because they are both in that moment of their lives where she is everything he needs and vise-versa. Max and Loren are both dealing with loss, and they relate to each otherās pain. When they feel like they canāt find understanding in their friends, they turn to one another. They first become friends and, with their relationship blooming, share their weaknesses creating a strong bond. Thereās a passage in the book where Max says:
āWhen sheās with me we share a different type of emotion, one that doesnāt make us smile. Itās like the bond we have was made through understanding what it is to live with the loss of someone you love. And itās that same understanding that makes it so easy to open up with her about what Iāve been through.ā
I have to agree with Max. I think their mutual pain and suffering brought them together and from there, they found their way to happiness.

Sometimes boy meets girl, and the stars align, and their future is laid out neatly before them. Together forever. Meant to be. But Max and Loren are not one of those couples.
Seventeen-year-old Max DuPont is on the verge of becoming a ward of the state and foster kid. Contrary to expectations, Max is not from the āwrongā side of town. Heās from a good home in a nice neighborhood, but his mother left after his father lost his job and turned to drink. Max has been struggling to keep his head above water ever since. All he wants is to survive his senior year, play hockey, and move on to college. When his dad lands himself in jail, Max has no choice but to accept an offer to live with his fatherās do-gooder attorney, Mr. Larssi. The only contingency is that Max must stay far away from Larssiās beautiful teenage daughter Loren.
Loren is aware that sheās had every opportunity in her young adult lifeāat least, that is, every opportunity her parents designed for her. She excels in academics at a competitive prep school, she never parties, she never dates, and sheās a budding ballerina and major hopeful for a Juilliard scholarship. But since her best friend Lily died tragically three months ago, Loren is lost. She knows just how precious life is. But she has no idea how to make the best of it. How can she liveāreally liveāwith obsessive parents breathing down her neckā¦and inviting the only guy who never noticed her to live right under their roof?
Lorenās first step in living her own life might be to get Max to notice her. Maxās only chance at a solid future without foster care is to keep his distance from Loren. But their chemistry is undeniable. And they canāt fight the odds foreverā¦
