This book really is good. It has so many layers to it and it will grab you right away and immediately capture you and pull you into the story. This story is more than just a taboo relationship between stepbrother and sister. There are some real issues going on and the more you read in this book , you begin to see that everything isn’t rosy and the author did a really terrific job making sure the reader sees this without making everything overly glorified. Oliver and Maya had their lives change when their parents marry. Oliver did NOT like this and felt like his life was going to change. He sees his pretty new little step sister and wants her. He hates her YET he wants her. He fought his feelings hard and he said some pretty hateful things to Maya to get her away from him. I don’t condone what he did because he drove her mad with his behavior but Oliver’s behavior seemed like he was bi-polar or on drugs but he was literally insane with his wants/needs for Maya but he couldn’t reall...
