The new girl doesn’t belong here. So why can’t I stop thinking about her? Iris Briggs a goodie two-shoes with a headmaster father who aims to ruin my school year before it’s even begun. She gets under my skin. With her demure skirts and braided hair, Iris flits around the periphery until she runs right into me, hot coffee soaking me as she looks up at me with wide, innocent eyes. We start off scalding.
In the library, we reach lava levels.
And then in the city? We go nuclear.
She’s a good girl, but I’m a Constantine. My duty is to my family. At least, it was until I started unbraiding the good girl and realizing there’s more to life than duty.

"This, right now, is real life, and you have the power to make it the way you want. "
A must-read coming of age romance
All the feels!
This is not a bully romance, or a makes no sense overly fictional angsty new adult romance
Wicked Idol was young love in its most beautiful form
Stumbling. Bumbling. And Learning as they went
Keaton was the school's hero but not all heroes want to be worshiped
Iris was the perfect example of the perfect child - Simple window dressing
What happens when fate gives you the chance to change your course?
Do you take it and risk disappointing your parents?
Do you let it slip through your fingers and stay the course laid out for you?
Is your happiness worth the sacrifice?
I really enjoyed how the author developed this story.
The way she brought the reader into the story - seamlessly forging our attachments to the characters.
Keaton and Iris were complete opposites while still so much alike.
Each living out their parents' dreams, while starving their own.
Looking for the hint of acknowledgment that they were more than second, that they were in themselves important.
There was a raw vulnerability to both of them that I strongly associated with.
First love is something that changes you, heart and soul, forever altering your course in life.
