A very nice change of pace in story lines! At first, I wasn't sure of the ages of the 4 main characters - Aubree, Booker, Boone and Braxton (being revealed later that these 3 boys were triplets). Later, the timeline puts them at 18-19 years old. That puts in the book YA - Young Adult - genre. However, being old enough to be those kids' grandmother - I read it anyway and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Aubree and Booker just graduated high school a year ago and there was an "event" that happened that they kept secret between them. What happened on Wild Magnolia Road? Another "event" happened 4 years ago and Aubree kept it secret to herself, not telling Booker who was involved in the "event". What happened "under the bleachers?". The story kind of revolved around these 2 events and they were mentioned many times in the story, but it was never revealed what happened until the end of the story. Well written by the author, this keeps the reader involved and looking forward to what happens next and to find out what happened.
Even tho it was the usual character of a "bad boy" of the town, seemingly broke and uneducated and turns out to be wealthy and educated, I think the author portrayed all 3 boys in an intelligent fashion. They were fun while being down to earth, yet still having each other's backs.
My only issue was - at the end, VERY quickly a secret was revealed about Aunt Lottie vs. Aubree's deceased mother. How Lottie explained it didn't make sense as her husband and daughter were thought dead while in another country, but then were "found" back in Mississippi in their hometown...and no one knew or said anything. Seemed odd to me. Not to mention - the secret actually had nothing to do with the story and could have been left out so I don't get why the author put it in there. I also thought the end was left open. The author had Aunt Lottie get married but little was said about what Aubree and Booker would do
