This story is told in alternating chapters, giving insight into Morgan and Clara, the relationship they have with one another and the relationships they have with others.
Morgan had Clara as a teen and it's very interesting to see Morgan, Clara's mother as a teen vs. her daughter, Clara has a teen.
Morgan's story goes back from her teenage years and is seamlessly integrated into current time. Clara's teen voice is very distinct. All the relationships in the books seem rather typical until a life changing event takes place that results in secrets being discovered and trust being broken.
Morgan attempts to protect Clara but misunderstandings happen that results in causing additional fissures in a fragile relationship.
There is a wonderful mix of romance but their is also grief, anger and healing. This is a book that can easily be enjoyed by young adults and adults. It doesn't really fit strictly into either slot and can easily fall into both categories. This would be a perfect book club read or a read for a mother and daughter to share.
