~What's It About?~
The last person seventeen-year-old Eleanor Livingston wants to see on the elevator—let alone get stuck with—is her ex-boyfriend Travis, the guy she's been avoiding for five months.
Plagued with the belief that when she speaks the truth, bad things happen, Elly hasn’t told Trav anything. Not why she broke up with him and cut off all contact. Not what happened the day her father returned from his deployment to Afghanistan. And certainly not that she misses him and still thinks about him everyday.
But with nowhere to hide and Travis so close it hurts, Elly’s worried she won’t be able to contain her secrets for long. She’s terrified of finally revealing the truth, because she can’t bear to watch a tragedy befall the boy she still loves.
~My Thoughts~
To be honest This was not at all how I thought this story was going to be like. It had great form and everything I really enjoyed the hole story line. It has kept me interested, I just didn't like the way it felt like I was reading a poem not a story, and I never knew what was going on what was the past vs the present. The events that happened in the story I felt were very real that it was happening right before my eyes in high school all over again.
The hole title of this story matches what went on in this story they were stuck Elly and Trav no where to hide they had no choice but to talk to each other and that was hard for Elly. After all she does blame her self I mean I would to taking my best friends boyfriend whom happens to be my best friend lol. Ok well not much to really say as I really didn't know what to think about it. Their is a 1 person POV and even then it felt like a poem which didn't catch my attention right away and I found that for as many pages that was there, not much to the story just being trapped with someone you love while talking somewhat and thinking about the past.
Give it a try and tell me what you think!!!
