Description: Finn has always felt out of place, but suddenly her world is unraveling. It started with The Party. And Adam Porter. And the night in September that changed everything. The only person who knows about that night is Audrey—Finn’s best friend, her witness to everything, and the one person Finn trusts implicitly. So when Finn’s childhood friend Jersy moves back to town—reckless, beautiful Jersy, all lips and eyes and hair so soft you’d want to dip your fingers into it if you weren’t careful—Finn gives her blessing for Audrey to date him. How could she possibly say no to Audrey? With Audrey gone for the summer, though, Finn finds herself spending more and more time with Jersy, and for the first time in her life, something feels right. But Finn can’t be the girl who does this to her best friend . . . can she?
Review: In One Lonely Degree, Finn is a seemingly average high school girl, but under the surface, she is deeply affected by a scarring event that happened one night at a party. She has pushed it back in her mind for almost a year, denying to herself it ever even happened. But then her childhood friend Jersey moves back to town, and Finn develops feelings for him. However, these feelings are interrupted when her best friend Audrey dates him. She plays the supportive friend role until Audrey is shipped away for the summer and she finds herself running to Jersey with her problems. They grow closer and with Audrey gone the gap between friends and more than friends starts to fade. This brings memories of that terrible night flooding back, and Finn is forced to deal with these memories in order to move on with her life. I really enjoyed the plot line of this book, however the ending was a bit disappointing for me.
Bottom Line: I was pleasantly surprised by this book because I was a bit skeptical as to whether I would like it but I was pleasantly surprised until the ending which i feel is a bit of a let down.
