In Between the Raindrops by Sydney Logan, Scout Ramsey hasn't had the easiest life, but when her mother sells her for a bag of meth, she gets sent to live with another family member. However, life isn't always bad, especially once she meets Wyatt Campbell. Will Scout and Wyatt get their happy ever after or is Scout just setting herself up for more heartbreak by getting close with Wyatt?
What a beautifully-crafted, fast-paced tale about the anguish of addiction, the importance of forgiveness and how first love can be the best healer for a girl that has had a tough life. The way this story started had me feeling sorry for the heroine because of what her mother does and how it turns Scout's life upside down. However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine met where this story really comes alive, as I loved Wyatt's reaction to what Scout has done to him. Certainly, she changes his life for the better.
As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters back stories, especially that of the heroine because she's been through so much and the situation she now finds herself in isn't any better. Will being around Wyatt and his family take away some of the pain of her past and help her navigate her current situation, which is an absolute nightmare?
Moreover, both the main characters were extremely enjoyable and I loved their growing relationship. Scout is resilient, courageous and I liked that she gave Wyatt a chance, even though they didn't get off to the best of starts. I also liked the growing friendships she shared with several of the secondary characters, especially her therapist. The woman really helps her through the tough times. However, there were moments where I wanted to cry for the heroine because things get bad for her. Can she forgive those that have hurt her? While the hero, he has some tough choices to make, but I liked how much he helps the heroine. He's confident, protective and I liked how the heroine helps him too. The school year has definitely become more interesting with Scout around.
Overall, Ms. Logan has delivered a really good read in this book where the chemistry between Scout and Wyatt was adorable and strong; the romance was delightful and sweet and had me loving every moment these two spent together; and the ending had me so happy for Scout, as Wyatt and his family have made her world that much brighter. I would recommend Between the Raindrops by Sydney Logan, if you enjoy young adult romance or books by authors Marissa Clarke, Stacy Wise, Layla Hagen and Abbi Glines.
