Twenty year old Kasey and her fifteen year old sister Livie try to start a new life in Miami after a drunken driving accident kills their family and their guardian tries to molest Livie. Finding a home in a shabby apartment complex, Kasey and Livie try to make ends meet and barely scrape by. Luckily the Barbie wannabe who lives next door has a heart of gold and gets Kasey a job tending bar at Penny's, a local strip joint. Kasey is a tough gal who tries to cope with her severe PTSD (she was in the car when the drunk driver hit) by kick boxing, cracking jokes, but thankfully not with random sex or alcohol anymore. But, the sex part may change after she meets hottie next door Trent after an embarrasing encounter in the laundry room. Trent however, may not be as good for Kasey as he seems to be.

I liked a lot of parts of this, but ALL of the tension in this book between Kasey and Trent was based on omission and lies. Boo. Just talk to one another people! The ending also wrapped up way to prettily for me and came way to quick after Kasey has a severe psychological break.
