Shattered Ties by K.A. Robinson
I was not ready for this book. I loved it though and the message it sent about social class separation and what still divides people in this day and age. It was like a modern day Romeo and Juliet except I promise they don't kill themselves at the end! Lol!
Emma and Jesse never should have seen each other again after their time as six year olds in the sandbox so when they ended up together and in love at 17 it was a big surprise to Jesse more than anyone else. With everything and everyone working against them, this couple struggles with what everyone else will think and feel about the rich princess and the tattooed trailer park boy being together. This is a must read- it was a read in one sitting kind of book for me. Looking forward to book II. 5-stars KR! <3 KM
Synopsis: With a former supermodel mother and a rock-and-roll legend father, Emma Preston has the best of everything. Nothing is as perfect as it seems though. After her parents divorce, she’s forced to live with her mother in a private Santa Monica community. Ignoring their parental roles, her mother becomes more focused on climbing the social ladder while her father is off on tour.
Growing up in a trailer park with his mother, Jesse is used to people looking down on him. When his mother begs him to submit an application for a scholarship to one of Santa Monica’s top private schools, he never expects to actually get it. When he does, he is forced to attend school with a bunch of rich kids. He ignores their stares as they judge him for having tattoos and a less than impressive car. As long as he has his surfboard and the guys at the tattoo shop, he knows he can make it through.
When Jesse shows up on the first day of school, Emma can’t help but be intrigued. Her mother would never approve of Emma talking to someone so poor, but she doesn’t care because something about Jesse draws her to him.
Jesse tries to hate Emma, but he discovers that he can’t resist her. Forced to hide their relationship from Emma’s mother and everyone else around them, things start to fall apart. When Jesse’s friend, Ally, decides to interfere, things go from bad to worse.
Can they survive their first love? Or will they be left with nothing more than shattered ties?
