The Truth About Letting Go (link)
by Leigh Talbert Moore
Ashley wants to smash everything in her once-perfect life. Charlotte wants to walk in Ashley's seemingly charmed shoes. Colt wants to turn Smalltown USA on its ear--with Ashley at his side. Jordan wants to follow his heart--but Ashley is the one sacrifice he never expected to make. Up until now, Ashley Lockett has followed the rules. She's always done the right thing, played it safe, gone to church. And then her ideal life is shattered when her dad dies suddenly.
Now she's miserable and furious, and she decides to do everything opposite of how she lived before. She rejects safety, rules, faith, and then she meets Jordan. Jordan has big dreams, he's had a crush on Ashley for years, he's a great kisser... but he's also safe. Enter Colt. He is not safe, and he's more than willing to help Ashley follow her plans.

Excerpt: I feel Colt laugh, and he looks down into my face. That’s when he seems to realize what I’ve been acutely aware of for the last several minutes—our bodies are pressed together. “It’s awesome, yeah?” he says. “Adrenaline rush.” “Yeah,” I breathe. “I guess.” I’m not sure if he’s going to kiss me until he does. His mouth covers mine, and energy mixes with the alcohol flooding my body. Our tongues slide together, and I grip his shirt so I don’t collapse. Every single bit of this is wrong, and there’s no way I’m stopping it. It’s back, that good feeling. The sadness has been pushed out again, and in its place is this rush, this rush of adrenaline like Colt said. He pulls back and smiles at me. “We’re going to start dating. Now. You’re my partner in crime.”

A signature Alleyway SPLAT from me: I had the pleasure of reading Leigh's book THE TRUTH ABOUT FAKING. I normally gravitate to paranormal and otherworldly reads, but I offered to read for Leigh. I was not disappointed. Her prose are solid, concise, and hold plenty of meaning, drawing the read into her stories. You really should get both these books.
**Ooh, and I'm also posting over on Oasis for YA, dissecting a bestselling novelist's first chapter.

I'm more a para/sci-fi YA reader, but if you enjoyed it I probably will.
