    About this audiobook

    Keisha Montgomery's junior year was devastating. Her best friend died, and her ex-boyfriend committed suicide. But Keisha is getting her life back on track. She's been elected senior class president, and she has met Jonathan Hathaway, the new 23-year-old track coach. Tall and handsome, Jonathan actually talks to Keisha like she's a woman instead of a girl. But when this forbidden relationship takes a frightening turn, Keisha once again finds herself plunged into the darkness she has worked so hard to escape.

      This book was good not as good as i thought it was going to be. I give it 4 stars because i feel the thing with mr.hathaways son could have gone a little bit deeper in to details, to me it all happend so fast. Also with Andy comiting suicide they didnt really give a reason. It was a mystery, ONE i wish i knew..... anyways I diffanitly recoomend this book to anyone who wants to read a book too keep you on your toes!
