The Outsiders meets John Hughes in this good girl/bad boy summer romance.
Summer vacation for Addy Moreno means the same thing it has for years - a trip to her mother's hometown, where she can escape her ordinary life and be the pretty girl with the rich boyfriend. But the summer of 1982 feels different. Overwhelmed by the pressures of growing up, Addy finds comfort in the company of unlikely friends. However, these new friends come with an unwelcome consequence:
Jackson Lowell. A boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a smart mouth and a bad attitude.
Jackson and Addy were made to get under each other's skin. Addy's irritation with immature boys is already reaching a breaking point, and if there's one thing Jackson can't stand, it's an ignorant rich girl. Though they seem to have nothing in common, their constant bickering soon turns into something more as they discover unexpected truths about each other that bring them closer than they could have ever expected.
But with Addy's jealous boyfriend and worried mother, Jackson's troubled past and dreary outlook on love, and the looming end of summer that will take Addy back to the other side of the country, their relationship is threatened at every turn. Could the surrounding obstacles put an end to a reluctantly blooming summer romance?
One thing is certain for Addy and Jackson - the start of something unexpected is just the beginning.
Young and Lawless is an enemies-to-lovers, small-town teen romance. It is the first book in the Young series.
