Title: Right Where You Are (Second Chances, #1)
 

Avery Melrose is used to having it all. So when her boyfriend cheats on her, she reacts like any spoiled rich girl-she freaks out and vandalizes his new truck, Carrie Underwood style. Now she's stuck with 300 hours of community service doing road-side garbage duty.

Seth Hunter just got out of prison, and after a few hundred hours picking up litter on the side of the highway, he can finally put his mistakes behind him. If he can string together some kind of existence, maybe it'll be enough to get his sister away from their stepfather, the man who sent Seth to prison in the first place.

A romance between these two is doomed from the start. Girls like Avery want castles and white horses, and Seth is no prince charming.

But sometimes, being around Avery makes Seth think he could make something of himself. Maybe even be worthy of a girl like her. It's just too bad real life gets in the way first, tearing these two apart before they have any chance of getting to Happily Ever After.

Short story with a slow beginning and a slow middle and a whirlwind ending. Didn't blow my mind away but it also didn't disturb me in any way.. Just another book in a bunch that I'll forget about.

Avery has to do 300 hours of community service, because she busted her ex-boyfriends of four years car for cheating on her.

Seth has just been released from prison. He's spent a year there for assaulting his stepfather who's a major son of a bitch - he hooked his little sister on drugs and pimped her out.

Those two meet in a bar on the night Seth was released and almost slept together.. The next day they meet again. In the bus that's heading to a road which they'll be cleaning for the next two months.

To be honest I don't have much to say about this one. I kind of don't really remember what happened. And I just finish reading it!

Well.

Avery used to do everything her parents wanted her to and suddenly after meeting Seth she wanted to be "her". Guess he opened her eyes and all but shouldn't she have realized it herself and want to change for herself and not for some guy?

Seth was pretty narrowminded. He had one goal and nothing else mattered. After meeting Avery his priorities shifted and he was mostly with Avery. Then he started blaming himself and pushed Av away so that his sister could be the center of his mind again.

I don't think that those two match very well. Opposites attract and all I know, but these two were just too different and in some ways too same.

Also Avery's father was one big asshole. He manipulated everything and everyone. Ugh.

The ending was too rushed. The whole book was so slow and in the end where majority of the plot happens it's only on 20 pages max.

If this is going to be made into a series I'm not sure I'll try to read the next one.
