Nic Lawrence considers herself bad. She has tattoos, piercings, smokes, rides a motorcycle, and even works at a motorcycle shop. At school, she's infamous for all of those things. All of that gets thrown out the window when she and her adoptive parents move to Sydney, Australia. And, get this, they put her in a program called Adults Surviving Child Abuse. It all changes from there when she meets a giggly, curly-haired Ashton Irwin, who Nic can't seem to get out of her head.
For Ashton Irwin, music is his life, drumming specifically. He's even in a band with his three best friends called 5 Seconds of Summer. They have dreams of getting big (and a phone call from a certain someone makes those dreams come true). Ashton uses music as a distraction to get away from his past, along with the help of Adults Surviving Child Abuse. Life's going pretty good, but it just seems to get better when feisty badass Nic Lawrence pops into his life, and he can't help but to be attracted to her.
Told in two points of view, readers can follow a story full of revved up engines and rising fame, with just a touch of giggles and leather jackets.
