We get 4 teens, and they each get a section- each teen gets a month or so, before we move on to the next character. I think a large part of it is how the story is told. I thought Tangled was okay! It had a lot of potential to be really cute, but it wasn’t as cute or fun as I thought it would be. It will change Skye, a heartbreakingly beautiful actress, who must come to terms with the fact that for once she has to stop playing a role or face the consequences.Īnd it will change Owen, who has never risked anything before and who will take the leap from his online life to a real one all because of a girl he met at Paradise…įrom confused to confident and back again, one thing’s certain: Four months after it all begins, none of them will ever be the same. It will change Dakota, who needs the devastating truth about his past to make him realize that he doesn’t have to be a jerk just because people think he’s one. It will change Jena, whose first brush with romance takes her that much closer to having a life, and not just reading about those infinitely cooler and more exciting.

Jena, Dakota, Skye, and Owen are all there for different reasons, but at Paradise their lives become tangled together in ways none of them can predict. Not the state of being, but a resort in the Caribbean. Where I Got It: I borrowed the hardcover from the library
