About this listen

Ava Diaz needs saving.

She just doesn't know it yet. Just like she doesn't know a thing about the boy she sits next to on the first day of senior year.

He thinks she's a brat. She thinks he's entitled.

Maybe first impressions don't always last...

Because Connor Ledger's about to save her. He just doesn't know why.

Contains mature themes.

It's been a hot minute since I've read a book about high schoolers. Heartache and Hope did not disappoint. It had all the great elements I love in my teen dramas from angst to the new guy in school.

Connor transfers into a private a high school on a scholarship. He's working towards playing basketball in college and then the ultimate goal of playing in the pros.

Ava is the girl whose mother returns home from the military with a lot of trauma. During her mother's time in the military, she was a POW and also suffered in a horrible accident which has left her unable to be left alone.

Connor & his dad move next door to Ava and he quickly becomes enamored with her. Since Ava's mom has mental issues and needs constant care Ava tries to keep her distance from him. She knows she can't offer him things like other girls can - like going to watch him play, etc. Connor convinces her that he doesn't care and he just wants whatever she can give him of her time.

That's all fine and dandy until it isn't. The story continues on in the next book: FIRST AND FOREMOST.
