Sophia…
They thought sending me to this supposed tropical paradise would keep me safe. But there’s no place safe for me now. Not when the memories won’t leave me alone.
I didn’t know what the universe had in store for me, but I definitely didn’t expect Jameson Burke. People think he has more secrets than I do, but he showed me his true self – his smile, his thoughtfulness, his love.
I can’t afford to fall so far, so deep. Not after what happened. I should run, but somehow my heart keeps coming back to him…
Jameson…
I had my own reasons to run. Little did I know the most important piece of my story started and ended with the quiet girl sitting next to me in seventh period.
Sophia Reid’s shy smile brought my soul out of hiding. Through her, I learned what starting over really means.
But if I give in to this love, I’ll put us both in danger.
For a short time, I was whole again, but what they say is right. The old me is dead, and the new one will never know love again.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Nowhere Girl is a YA novel, but it is so full of heart. These two incredibly broken characters, Jameson and Sophia, each have been through some major trauma, and there is an immediate connection between them.

We get more of Sophia’s story than we do of Jameson’s, and that is part of what made me wanting to keep on reading just one more chapter. Why is he so secretive? What happened to him? Why is he being forbidden by his aunt and uncle to date her? How will his past destroy her? I need to know!

I found the main characters to be well-developed, but felt that there were a few too many supporting players in the high school circle. Also, there were a few sections that I skimmed through — unnecessary exposition or details that I didn’t find were crucial to telling Jameson and Sophia’s story. But overall, this book was such a page-turner. And when it ended? I threw my kindle down! I did not know that it was a cliffhanger! Thankfully, the second and third installments are coming very soon so I can find out what happens next with Jameson and Soph! I need to know what his “story” is.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

SNEAK PEEK:
JAMESON — ❝I hated this. I despised it. There were no words for the grief, the aching in my heart. I was betraying her. I had been ordered to break the trust she gave me, and all so Thomas and Elizabeth could follow the rules.
Two days ago, I had taken Soph to my cove. I kissed her. I held her hand. I shared with her more of me than anyone beyond Thomas and Elizabeth. I forced her to include me into her bubble and now I was popping it because it was the right thing to do. Why couldn’t I just explain it to her? I could trust her—I know I could. Soph was different than anyone else. Why couldn’t I just tell her?❞
