Ever since her illegal immigrant parents got deported following an auto accident, she's done nothing but go to school and work the night shift at a rundown convenience store. And try to fly under the radar. She gives her older brother Julio almost everything she earns so he can save enough to buy passage back into the country for their parents and two siblings they've never seen. When Cletus, an older man who is generally inebriated , comes into the store like he does most nights, things in her life take a big turn. Carly realizes that a masked man has accosted Cletus just before he gets into his truck and is holding a gun. Carly doesn't stop to think, she grabs the shotgun under the counter, slips over the top and rushes out to confront the robber, even though she's terrified and doesn't have a clue how to fire the weapon. After an odd standoff, the would-be robber backs off, but not before stealing her bike to make his getaway. Thus begins one of the more unusual and prickly romances you'll encounter in a YA novel. The masked man is Arden Moss, former football star and son of the racist sheriff who deported Carly's parents. He'd been trying to scare his grandfather into stopping his driving while drunk. Even though he's had classes with Carly, he, like nearly everyone else at school, hasn't paid any attention to her. Now he can't stop thinking about her, so he connives until he gets her to be his pranking accomplice, something he's missed since his older sister who had schizophrenia, killed herself. Watching these two strong willed teens edge closer, fall in love and deal with several serious situations makes for a really engrossing read and one that I liked a lot. This is a great book to add to any school or public library. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars I can’t even explain how disappointed I am in this book *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015* I can’t even explain how disappointed I am in this book. It had such hopes on being a great story but the characters were the worst. First of all, Carly’s family. What are wrong with these people? They put so much pressure on this poor girl. They actually tell her school isn’t important, making more money for your family is and the money she’s making isn’t good enough for them. It isn’t until she’s gets a second job that they finally feel that she’s doing enough. Then when it comes out that she’s been doing normal 16 yr old stuff her brother is horrible to her. He also tries to guilt her for buying something for herself out of her pay. Arden is an idiot. The fact that he couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t blow off their responsibilities to hang out with him, after he pulled a gun on her, is just plain crazy. Then he finally realizes she’s poor. He thought she wore off brand clothes and insisted on working night shift at a gas station for the heck of it. It finally dawns on him because she wears the same shoes everyday. Really idiot? That’s what gave it away? Arden’s jerk of a father is I believe the devil incarnated. I’ve read about some bad people before but he’s pretty close to the top of the list. The only person I even liked was Cletus the elderly drunk. He was the only one that expected Carly to be what she was and accept her for it. This could’ve a hit with the story line but it fell so far below. The only good thing about this book is I know who to give it to. While waiting on it to get here my daughter happened to mention hearing about it and planning to see if the library had it. I told her I was waiting for it to be delivered and she snatched it up as soon as it came. She absolutely loved the story so now she will own it. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to read. *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021* Can’t get the sticker off the cover first of all, second, can’t get through the first chapter. Loved all of Anna Banks other books but this one is just hard to read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/15164592-joyride](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/15164592-joyride) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
