“So?” he taunted, acting nowhere near seventeen. “You’re not getting the keys,” she told him. The wide-eyed, earnest expression might work on their mother, but Keeley knew better. Either that or it hated her, because there was no way she should have been paired with a twin like this. Library and Archives Canada Cataloguing in Publicationįate had a twisted sense of humor.

Keeley is likable and strong, growing in self-confidence through the story, and Talon is a real, struggling teen. The Apple-inspired chapter titles (“iLost my phone” and “iTalk to a dog”) are eye-catching precursors. It’s also about finding yourself and your voice when so many people seem to know what’s best. Summers has written a sweet story about finding love in unexpected places. All Keeley knows is that senior year had better get better.

Meanwhile, her brother is having a hard time from the pressures placed on him to do well at the upcoming football game. They meet to switch phones, and suddenly Talon stops texting and calling. She gets to know him over the week he is away at football camp and is reluctant to give the phone back. Yes, Talon infuriates her, but she likes who she is when talking with him.

She finds herself breaking out of the shadows in her texts to him.

She mistakenly picks up someone else’s phone and meets Talon, the phone’s owner. Keeley exists under the shadow of her football-star twin brother, Zach.
