Publisher Description
Chosen as a 2014 YALSA Amazing Audiobook for Young Adults
He was tall, at least six feet, with dirty blond hair that hung over his eyes. His T-shirt read Nietzsche Is My Homeboy.
So, that was Matt. Who Julie Seagle likes. A lot. But there is also Finn. Who she flat out loves.
Complicated? Awkward? Completely.
But really, how was this freshly-minted Boston transplant and newbie college freshman supposed to know that she would end up living with the family of an old friend of her mother's? This was all supposed to be temporary. Julie wasn't supposed to be important to the Watkins family, or to fall in love with one of the brothers. Especially the one she's never quite met. But what does that really matter? Finn gets her, like no one ever has before. They have connection.
But here's the thing about love, in all its twisty, bumpy permutations—it always throws you a few curves. And no one ever escapes unscathed.

Quotes

“I loved it so much that I’m already considering how long I should wait before re-reading it...The romance in this one is amazing because it’s a slow building, feel-it-in-your-stomach kind of love.”

“Julia Whelan’s narration is flat-out amazing. When Julie moves to Boston to begin college, she takes up residence with the Watkins family. Whelan portrays Julie with the practical tone of a teenager who is used to dealing with whatever life throws at her. Whelan’s reading of Watkins brothers Matt and Finn offers just enough differentiation for the listener to keep track of who is speaking. Younger sister Celeste rounds out the siblings with a high-pitched voice that is completely at odds with her articulate speech yet is appropriate for her quirky personality. The Watkins aren’t exactly what they seem, and throughout the year she spends in their home, Julie falls in love, discovers a tragedy, experiences betrayal, and still has time to be a regular college freshman. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.”
