Rhett Taylor has a reputation to live up to. He’s the small town hero everyone expects to lead the team to victory. But looks can be deceiving, and the pressure unbearable – even after he confides in Kinsley West.
She may not have been the obvious choice to others, but he chose her anyway. Thanks to her newfound popularity, Kinsley’s no longer living in the shadow of her older brother. For once, she has an identity of her own.
But what builds quickly, often comes tumbling down. Piece by piece they find out how unpredictable young love can be. Can their love stand the test of time? Or will it be captured, only to be forgotten?
A roll of film sets their story in motion.
Each frame better than the last.
But the real test comes when their whirlwind romance forces Kinsley to protect their secret – especially if she wants a future. Only Kinsley isn’t sure she can do it - not if she’s going to be left behind In Pieces.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

IN PIECES is a YA romance about discovering the course you set in life not always be the one that will make you happy. Rhett and Kinsley were two high school seniors who thought they had their lives mapped out. But when Rhett decided to throw caution to the wind and go after the girl he’s liked for the past two years, both of their lives take a different turn.

If you enjoy YA romances, IN PIECES is going to be one that you enjoy. There was a bit of angst, naivety, all encompassing love and parents trying to throw a wrench in the works for our hero and heroine. In the end, Rhett and Kinsley are able to see their relationship blossom into something most dream about. I would have liked a little more development in the relationship between the characters and for Kinsley to know what it feels like to date a bit before jumping feet first into a relationship, but Gia Riley makes the insta-love work for this couple and gives them a happy ending fitting for them.
