Seventeen year old, small town girl Atlas Greene has had a tough past. Her mom died five years ago which led her dad to become a violent drunk who abuses her. As the summer approaches, Atlas finds a job so that she can go to the University of Louisiana to get away from her dad. When she finally lands a job at a family business, she meets Sawyer-the older son of her boss who takes immediate interest in her. Sawyer is attentive and silly and everything Atlas needs to forget her home life. As they start to hang out outside of the workplace, secrets are revealed and her heart opens up. But she doesn't want it to. Atlas tries everything she can to stop their personal connection. Will she be able to face her reality or will she feel trapped forever? ••• disclaimer concerning my newfound imposter syndrome: •Everything from Atlas's name to the plot being similar to novels written by Colleen Hoover are entirely coincidental. The plot of this story has always been the same, but I gave Atlas her name long before I ever even heard of Colleen Hoover.
