A teenager named Maggie Armstrong got hit by a car and has to leave with a limp for the rest of her life. The person who hit her was her best friend's brother. He had been drinking and driving after a party when he had hit Maggie. Many months after the incident, Caleb has been released from juvy and Maggie has to live with the fact that he is out. She despises this guy but she can't do anything about it. As Maggie and Caleb face the fact that they are stuck in a camp together for several weeks, brings them close than ever. Will they end up falling in love or no?
Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles is a great book that starts with drama and slowly turns into romance. Two amazing genres that teenagers love reading about in one awesome book. This book will make you cry and smile as you read through it and experience the emotions of the characters. You sort of become like a character in the book that feels everything that all the other actual characters feel. Is it possible to fall in love with someone that practically made your whole life a living hell? Read this book and you will know the answer to that question.
