This is a young adult fiction, that goes back and forth between the two main characters Jade and Ethan. For this type of narrative, I am comparing it to Jodi Picoult because it is stated whose point of view it is coming from and the point of view continues on the story. It does not reply to the same scene over to get the other person point of view. It follows Jade a high school student, who works at a gym, last year of school but is delaying going to post-secondary because of family issues. Ethan goes to the same school as her, going to church every Sunday, has a girlfriend name Brianne. Ethan and Jade are not friends or in the same social groups. It is one night at the gym as it is closing that Ethan does not realize it is closing but the manager has okayed for him to a quick workout, Jade is not happy about this – she wants to home. The story could end here, but it would not be a great story – the story kicks off when a guy comes into the gym thinking Jade is the only one there, takes out a gun and demands money. Unable to provide any from the gym, Jade and Ethan are pushed into a room, personal effects handed to thief and is left there for about eight hours. It is after they get out that their interactions and attitudes start to change and people are starting to notice this as well. As the story progress and situations happen with other characters the reader see a Young adult romance start – eventually.
