When Bodee Lennox, the quiet and awkward boy next door, comes to live with the Littrells, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend in "the Kool-Aid Kid," who has secrets of his own. As they lean on each other for support, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her find the courage to finally face the truth.
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book was so great. I Loved it. I really connect with Alexi a lot though the book. She scratches her neck because of what happen to her this past summer, I use to cut, I been in her shoes. Alexi really didn't know Bodee that well. Well Her parents let Bodee to move in with them because his dad is in jail and his mother is dead. Heather and Liz (Alexi's friends) have no idea what is going on, Alexi told them that Bodee moved in for awhile but they know that his mother died. Well the girls have 4th period together and someone keeps writing song lyrics down on lex's desk, so the girls called him the Caption Lyrics. The girls been trying to figure it who it was. Kayla (Alexi's Sister) is moving out and going to live with her Fiancee Craig . Craig works at the Alexi's school as a football coach. Kayla and Craig are off and on in their relationship. Hayden likes Alexi and ask her to the dance and she said yes. Well anyways, After Alexi and Bodee got to know each other better , Bodee told Alexi that he seen his dad killing his mother, he was on the porch and his mom waved him off, so his dad couldn't come after him. So Alexi and Bodee was in the fort that Alexi made when she was younger. Alexi told Bodee what happen to her in the summer time before school started, but she didn't tell who did it. Then finally few days later, Alexi told Bodee who raped her,* SPOILER* and he was really mad at Craig for raping her. Bodee told Lexi to tell her parents and her sister before Kayla gets married to Craig. So Lexi wrote down on a piece of paper what happen and give it to Kayla. Kayla kicked Craig out and broke up with him. They told their parents! I really loved this book. I hope everyone will pick this book up and read it. Its one of my favorites. I will read and own anything this author writes :)
