However, she and her friends all see this side of town as a place for druggies and delinquents and even calls their bus the penitentiary bus. She is forced to move to a poorer part of town called Lakeside while attending her same high school. Now, before her family loses their house and fortune, Ivy is not necessarily a bad person. She and her friends have families who are absolutely loaded. The way her house is described is insane. Ivy comes from an extremely wealthy family. The classism is rampant in this book, and I think it’s a super important look at our world. Usually, a love triangle is set up to create drama, but this one was absolutely necessary in order for Ivy to find true self.Ģ. As much as I hate to admit it, this one fit. Love triangles make me want to punch myself in the face. Ivy is torn between the rich, cute James and the bad boy, Lennie.
For the sake of the story and Ivy’s self discovery, I see its necessity, but I still don’t like it. I hate love triangles so much, which is why I removed a star. And she may be surprised that not everyone is who she thought they were. Once things get to the breaking point, Ivy turns to her music, some surprising new friends, and the trusting heart of her disabled little brother. But when the bad-boy-next door threatens to ruin everything, Ivy’s carefully crafted lies begin to unravel.
Forced to give up her allowance, her cell phone, and the window seat in her lilac-colored bedroom, Ivy moves with her family from her affluent neighborhood to Lakeside, aka “the wrong side of the tracks.” Hiding the truth from her friends-and the cute new guy in school, who may have secrets of his own-seems like a good idea at first. When Ivy Emerson’s family loses their house-complete with her beloved piano-the fear of what’s to come seizes her like a bad case of stage fright. I’m not going to say much more here except here’s your synopsis from Amazon:
This book made me really angry for a really good percentage of it. I was given an e-galley of this book from the publisher for no charge this in no way affects the honesty of my review. Source: E-Galley from publisher through Edelweiss
