"A total page-turner." (Fiction's Mistress)

When her mother is sleeping with the man she loves, what's a girl to do?

Francesca is weeks away from high school graduation and the hope of escaping her self-centered, grasping family - her trashy mother and hustling twin brother. While her crush on their older neighbor holds her attention, she is blind to what everyone else can clearly see, the love her best friend, Mitch, carries in his heart for her. When her dead grandmother's high school boyfriend returns to town for his class reunion, his immediate attraction to Francesca is a game changer. Can Mr. Long - and his wealth - open up undreamed of opportunities for Francesca's future, and at what price?

Dysfunctional Family Drama Indeed

Entertaining read and a great cast of characters. I liked the multiple POVs and the nod to Claiming Sleeping Beauty*wink*. The narration, unfortunately, fell a little flat for me and didn't quite do the drama justice. I will continue support, however, as I enjoyed the overall writing style :)

Not for the Faint of Heart

Reckless Treasure is not for the faint at heart as there are quite a few adult situations that are resolved in unique ways.

Told from multiple perspectives, Reckless Treasure is about the coming of age of a girl whose mother is sleeping with her crush, whose twin brother is the scum of the earth, and whose best friend is pinning after her but she is oblivious to his feelings and intentions. Most of the characters are not likable except perhaps for Mr. Long who has a unique perspective on it all.

If you enjoy unlikable narrators and strange love stories than this book is for you!

Very Days of our Lives

This book followed the lives of several people. All of the main characters lives were all intertwined. It had a soap opera feeling. Several of the characters lusted after someone that lusted after a different person. I liked knowing what everyone was thinking during the scene and the different POV. If you need a HEA I would not recommend this book for you. I almost wish they would have all just gone in different directions at the end instead of it just ending how it did. If you enjoy the drama of something like "Days of our Lives" or "Young and the Restless" you probably would like this book.

I tried so hard....

I tried so hard to get through this book because the story line was great but the narrator just didn't do it for me. He was very flat and I never knew who was supposed to be talking. I rather read this book myself instead of listen which says a lot considering I listen to books about 90% of the time.

Too Much

The story line abt the book caught my attention and it sounded great, but the narrator just didn’t do the book any good. He was so monotoned and with so many characters in the book it made it very confusing as to who was supposed to be read. I tried to listen all the way through but I got so confused as to who was who...
