One Small Thing deals with loss, love, and heartache
Beth is dealt with the loss of her sister and on top of that her parents become so over protective it is almost too much for her to bare. She is barely living when a new boy comes into her life, Chase.
She soon realizes Chase needs to be her little secret. How can she balance life, her overbearing parents and Chase?
This story had its sad and heartbreaking moments, as well as moments of wondering how Beth is going to deal with it all. It seemed she was being crushed by her parents even though they just wanted to protect her. I could definitely feel her frustration at times. Not just with her parents, but with her friends as well.
I felt for Chase. Everyday must have been a struggle for him, so from the beginning I really liked him.
It was a lovely read with an ending I was satisfied with.
4 Stars!

Synopsis:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author duo of The Royals and When It’s Real comes a sensational new novel about a girl falling for the one boy she should never have met…
Beth’s life hasn’t been the same since her sister died. Her parents try to lock her down, believing they can keep her safe by monitoring her every move. When Beth sneaks out to a party one night and meets the new guy in town, Chase, she’s thrilled to make a secret friend. It seems like a small thing, just for her.
Only Beth doesn’t know how big her secret really is…
Fresh out of juvie and determined to start his life over, Chase has demons to face and much to atone for, including his part in the night Beth’s sister died. Beth, who has more reason than anyone to despise him, is willing to give him a second chance. A forbidden romance is the last thing either of them planned for senior year, but the more time they spend together, the deeper their feelings get.
Now Beth has a choice to make—follow the rules, or risk tearing everything apart…again.
