“A hundred and two days.” That’s how long Mack and Cece’s story lasts in this devastating urban romance. Cece and Mack aren’t your typical couple. Cece is a straight-A student with a bright future; she spends most of her spare time studying for the Gifted and Talented Program exam. Mack is a highschool dropout with severe dyslexia. He lives with his abusive dad and fights his own instinct to lash out whenever the “static” creeps into his mind. But Mack has a real gift for working with dogs, and Cece can see through his rough exterior to the sweet guy he really is. As co-workers at a neighborhood diner, the pair quickly bonds over an injured pit bull that Mack rescues from a dogfight. When one of Mack’s neighbors poisons Boo with antifreeze, Mack’s rage takes over. He retaliates in a moment of violence that changes everything. But just when it seems that there is no hope that Mack and Cece will have a future together, their paths cross again. Very romantic. And have I mentioned the completely adorable pit bull on the cover of this book? This novel is a perfect choice if you like your romance a little on the gritty side.
