I was born to rebel.
Against love. Against
authority. Against myself.
Perfect precision, that’s
how I planned my life. Dancing was my whole world. I wanted to be in the
spotlight with all eyes on me, but recently, my heart’s pulled me in a
different direction. Writing for the school paper has excited me in a way dance
never has. Exposing truths trumps pirouettes and countless hours in the studio
and being true to myself is more important than keeping dangerous secrets
hidden.
Getting close to Colin and
his lacrosse buddies allowed me access to their secrets—but I had no idea how
deep they went. On the brink of exposing them, I was set back. No sources, no
boyfriend, and no way to
get justice. No matter which angle I pursued, my story kept getting shut down.
Until I met the guy with
the scars. The one who helped me when I didn’t know what to do or who to turn
to. He came into my life out of nowhere, saved me, and taught me to believe in
myself. Then, when I finally did, he didn’t believe in me. I had to stand on my
own two feet, fight for my values and for what I needed—for what I had
earned—and learn that justice always comes with a cost.
Review: I have to say this was a really great read. Its a retelling of the Hunchback, but to me its more a good story, because I didn't quite see a lot of the connections with the original book..and also..Victor Hugo and fluffy romance....not exactly good bedfellows.
I will say I loved Emmy and her ideals. She has a reckless pursuit of a story no matter what the cost be it to her or to other people and that includes herself as we see from the start of the story. She's working on a story to expose the schools lacrosse team, one of which is a very nasty ex boyfriend.
As her relationship with Quinn develops, she starts to really uncover her passion, which is journalism, not dance. These two were perfect together. The only thing that didn't really fit for me was the placement of the sex scene between these two. It didn't gel with me, at least at the part of the story. It felt like it was there just so the story would have a sex scene
I think of all the books in this series this one is probably one of my favorites.

and no, you can't read it. Surprisingly, she graduated with honors at her third

she drinks coffee she can't pronounce and sips tea when she's out of coffee.
When she's out of both, just stay away.
