When having money is all that matters, what happens when you lose it all?
Perfect, picturesque Orchard Hill. It was the last thing Ally Ryan saw in the rear-view mirror as her mother drove them out of town and away from the shame of the scandal her father caused when his hedge fund went south and practically bankrupted all their friends -- friends that liked having trust funds and new cars, and that didn't like constant reminders that they had been swindled. So it was adios, Orchard Hill. Thanks for nothing.
Now, two years later, Ally's mother has landed a job back at the site of their downfall. So instead of Ally's new low-key, happy life, it'll be back into the snake pit with the likes of Shannen Moore and Hammond Ross.
But then there's Jake Graydon. Handsome, wealthy, bored Jake Graydon. He moved to town after Ally left and knows nothing of her scandal, but does know that he likes her. And she likes him. So off into the sunset they can go, right? Too bad Jake's friends have a problem with his new crush since it would make Ally happy. And if anyone deserves to be unhappy, it's Ally Ryan.
Ally was hoping to have left all the drama in the past, but some things just can't be forgotten. Isn't there more to life than money?

"Oh my gosh! This was so close to being a 5-star book for me, but the way it ended made me crazy! Seriously there was no closure with any one of the characters! I loved Jake and Ally together and it was such a well told story. "
— Heather (4 out of 5 stars)
“The use of three narrators helps emphasize the different perspectives of the characters. Soler expresses Ally’s emotional vicissitudes, and Nobbs delivers Jake’s male bewilderment with humor…The narrators create an entertaining teen drama, and the cliffhanger ending suggests a likely sequel.”
— AudioFile“Scott knows how to set a hook, and the fast pace will pull readers in for an entertaining read.”
— Booklist“Deftly explores peer pressure, grudges, and decency.”
— School Library Journal" I was dissapointed that the "f" word was in it so much, because I really liked the story line. If she writes a sequel, which I think she will considering how this book left off, I would skim it just to find out what happens to the two main characters. Other that the swearing, it was really good, but the swearing is why I'm only giving it two stars. Otherwise, I would have given it four. "
