MiKayla, Shane, and Harley come from homes that are broken –
either physically or emotionally. Each one has watched the breakdown of their
parents’ love and feels the void that it creates. It’s this void that propels
each one of them into relationships in search of the love that they don’t feel
at home.
Hopkins does a great job of portraying different facets of
relationships through each character. She shows the innocent intensity of first
loves, the dangers of placing our trust and lives in the hands of those who
might not deserve it, and the importance of staying true to ourselves. Each
character develops an obstacle based on choices they made that he or she must
overcome. As they work through their options and face the cruel judgments of
others, they realize that redemption and hope still exist.
