I literally read this in one sitting. Is there a better statement of appreciation for a book than that?!?

John and Edie are amazing, and yet, not so amazing in the way of typical teenagers. The book is all tied together due to them being in a convenience store robbery, and John saved Edie's life. While that is the backdrop of the story, this is a story of self discovery, coping, learning about life, and trying to change your history. I think that Kylie Scott did an amazing job of getting in the "typical" teenagers head and pulling out those feelings. One drawback that I have with this book, we never hear from John, we don't see his POV at all, it's all Edie, which I totally understand, but I would have loved to have heard from him.

From the beginning I enjoyed this book very much. It jumped right into the action and it kept my attention through most of it. I found it most interesting that we were able to see how a life altering even affected both main characters rather than it just being one sided, even though we didn't get it pov it was easy to see both sides..

Edie's character was easy to love. She was smart and funny but had real insecurities. The book didn't stretch it out or made her unrealistic, she was easy to relate with. Where a lot of stories make the female lead weak/meek and the victim, this story made her realistic and likable. John is also a character that was easy to love. He was kind hearted and their relationship evolved naturally and it had a raw feel to it where they both had some serious issues. It was a great story and I highly recommend it.

4-4.25 stars. This was a really good book! This book is YA in that the characters are seniors in high school, but it felt very NA in that the characters are mature acting, not whiny or overly angsty. They are dealing with some tough situations. But they are smart, strong characters that didn't make me feel like I was reading about immature, drama loving students. This is definitely one of the best YA books I have read and up there with my favorite Kylie Scott books.

This is John and Edie's story. Edie's life changes forever when she goes into a convenient store for some snacks and a robbery happens. She sees two people lose their life and she is saved by one of the other store customers, John. Edie is a slightly frumpy, unpopular girl in her senior year of high school at a private girls school. She lives with her single mother that works all the time. When the convenience story robbery happens, Edie is all over the news with lots of unwanted publicity. She can't handle the way the mean girls at school treat her even worse after the robbery. She decides to switch to a public school, which happens to be John's school. Edie and John have a connection, having both lived through this difficult situation in which their lives flashed before their eyes. The begin spending time together, becoming friends and eventually beginning a relationship.

I really liked both John and Edie, especially Edie. John comes off at first as mysterious and very Jordan Catalano-esque. He is a bad boy who is trying to straighten out his life. But as he starts to open up with Edie, it was easy to like him and see how much he cared for her. Edie really came into her own and learned who she was, becoming more confident along the way. It was funny, sweet, and emotional seeing them together and watching their relationship develop. This book does have explicit sexy times (and thank goodness! I might not have enjoyed it so much without it). I can easily imagine this book as a movie, something like The Edge of Seventeen.

The writing was great. The characters are well written, interesting and had depth. John and Edie had a connection that only grew stronger as the book went on. There are some series subjects dealt with in this book, like death, drug addiction, depression, losing your virginity, and the awkwardness of high school and falling in love. But it was not a depressing book. It left me as a reader with a hopeful feeling for John and Edie's future.

Overall, this book was a journey of Edie gaining confidence, finding who she is, facing her fears and falling in love! I very much enjoyed the journey and watching John and Edie's relationship develop. I look forward to more from Kylie Scott!

'Just for a moment, I was no longer the remnants of the hostage from the Drop Stop, jumping at shadows and flipping the bird to the future. It was just me and him, together. And that feeling swamped everything else.'

It started out like any other night for seventeen year old Edie, making a quick run to the local convenience store with her best friend to grab snacks for a long night of hanging out. But that all changed in the blink of an eye when Edie suddenly finds herself held hostage at gunpoint by a drugged out madman. Her unlikely savior comes in the form of John Cole, another teen who also happens to be stuck in the store with them. It’s no surprise that surviving an experience such as this would change a person, and Edie finds herself suddenly not caring about a lot of the things she used to worry about. When she starts a new school she is surprised and a little relieved to discover that John is a fellow student. While Edie finds herself in a downward spiral, John is on a path trying to clean up his image. The two quickly form a bond over the shared experience and find themselves helping one another deal with the fallout. Once they cross the line from friends to more, things get even more complicated. Will their unlikely bond that was born from such extreme circumstances withstand the test when danger finds them once more?

I thought this was a great book! It immediately sucked me in with the frightening events that take place at the beginning, the hostage situation came alive and I could see it all playing out before me. Then, once that situation is defused we have the aftermath. I thought this was all so well done. Edie’s reactions and fears and struggles seemed so realistic and I could instantly relate to her. She was someone I could have totally seen myself being friends with back in high school. I loved that, despite her issues stemming from the Drop Stop, she emerged from the experience stronger than ever. She may have lost her way on a few things, but on the things that truly mattered, like friendship, loyalty, and doing the right thing, she excelled. I loved her and John’s friendship and eventual relationship. Under ordinary circumstances, the two may never have crossed paths but when you both survive something as horrific as that, finding the only other person who understands how you feel is invaluable. John was such a great character, he was good looking and popular and everyone seemed to like him because they all wanted something from him. It was refreshing and heartwarming to see him flourish under Edie’s friendship, the first person in a very long time who took the time to get to know the real him. This may have been YA, but it felt very mature and the romance aspect was a great slow burn with a super sweet payoff. I also loved all of the secondary characters, in the midst of such heaviness, they all provided some really humorous moments and helped round out this great story. Overall I thought this book was so well written, I was glued to the pages from the very start and was sad to see it end! If you like mature YA with realistic and relatable characters, a gripping storyline and a heartwarming love story, definitely grab a copy of this!

Kylie Scott did a really great job diving into the YA genre. The beginning starts off immediately with such a vivid detail of a horrifying event. John and Edie are both random victims in a robbery that has now changed them forever. After such a terrifying experience Edie is left struggling to deal with so much all at once and John is a boy from the wrong side of town trying to turn his life around. Two young and lost souls looking for solid ground. Soon they see the solace they can find in one another to heal, to move on and to simply live.

Even though the characters were young the story was deep and so full. There was a perfect balance of serious issues and feelings alongside playful banter and fun times. The side characters were well developed and it seems like we just might get more of them in the future. I can't wait for more in this series.

Oh my gosh, this book!!! So beautifully written and such a captivating story, plenty of surprises along the way and such a great romance that builds between John and Edie. I really felt for Edie, she went through so much and then to cross paths with John again, a person who has changed because of his connection to Edie was so perfect. But perfect can never last,and John and Edie have dangers to face before their story is over. Such a great story, and i urge you if you are unsure of the book to check out the book trailer online as to why you NEED to read this story.

“Being young is all about the experiences: the first time you skip school, the first time you fall in love…the first time someone holds a gun to your head.”

Trust is Kylie Scott’s first foray into young adult (YA) and a winner in my book with its bittersweet story of two teenagers who struggle to understand and deal with a traumatic event. Edie, our heroine, is a seventeen-year-old senior whose dry wit and relatable monologue will have you laughing, sighing, and shaking your head in bemusement as she attempts to move forward with her life in the aftermath of being held hostage during a robbery while also having to deal with the usual teen issues. Energetic, humorous, and raw at times, Edie’s voice resounds through the story, clear as a bell, as she deals with some mature and sensitive subjects such as slut shaming, fat shaming, drugs, sex, violence, and first love.

“I scared a boy with my menstrual rage […] Though to be fair, he kind of deserved it.”

When Edie stops at a local convenience store for snacks, she certainly doesn’t expect to be taken hostage by cranked up meth head. Lucky for her, another teenager also happens to be there and risks his life to save hers. The two survivors are separated only to meet up again when Edie transfers from her private all girls school to a public school to start fresh. She is warned about John Cole as his drug dealing and womanizing ways are a legend at the high school. Only, John too is attempting to start fresh with his brand new attitude towards school, drugs, and a certain girl. A friendship develops as these two help one another through the highs, low, and the in-betweens of their shared traumatic experience.

I found it hard to care. I mean, what did it matter? Life went on; no one had died as a result. The principal said it would go on my permanent record.

Permanent?

Please.

Bullets were permanent. Everything else was temporary.

While the beginning is certainly eventful, the story itself is pretty low-key and quiet as Scott reveals with a steady hand the changes that can occur after a traumatic experience and the ways one can heal from it. Random and seemingly unimportant things take on new meanings as Edie and John discover the hard way that life can be ripped from you at any given time. While the bad boy/good girl element is strong, so are Scott’s subtle little tweaks to it. Scott takes her time in developing Edie and John, superimposing the newer versions on top of the older ones with each revolution.

“You’re here?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“Because this is where you are,” he said as if it were obvious.

The romance is a mixture of anticipation, humor, and sexual tension as it slowly dissolves the lines of their friendship into something sweet, passionate, and bittersweet. It blends well with the coming of age and the push/pull of adulthood themes of the story. Watching their transformation from friends to more is a brilliant mash-up of emotions as Edie is quite vocal in her embarrassment, awkwardness, lust, fear, confusion, and of course, jealousy.

“God, the fat thing. Do you have any idea how often I’ve had that flung at me? I mean, what if I only take the word as a descriptor? Then you’re screwed. But I bet if you tried, you could make up much better insults. Give it a try; I’ll wait because your opinion really, really matters to me. Who ever you are. “

A personable and individualized secondary cast of characters adds even more energy, drama, and humor of the story; offering advice, a shoulder to cry on, and back up. Edie and John have support systems, from Edie’s over protective mom to John’s Uncle Levi, and I appreciated that Scott didn’t take the easy way out as some YAs do and place the adults in villainous roles. Fellow high schools Anders and Hang steal the show at times with their exuberance and love/hate relationship.

“What are we talking about?” hissed Anders, bringing his head down to our level. “Who are we looking at?”

“Nothing. Go away,” said Hang.

“But I want to be one of the girls!”

“No.” She put a hand over his face and pushed.

The ending is a little too predictable when Edie is given a chance to take back what she thought she lost and emerges the stronger for it. It was heavily foreshadowed but not offensive or manipulative. Though we aren’t given the firm HEA, we are given a happy and hopefully HFN towards Edit and John’s future.

“We had such a weird beginning, you and I.”



Grade: B+

This is a new stand alone YA read from Kylie Scott. For me, this story started off really strong and I was gripped straight away but the intensity just fell away somewhat and the middle section dragged a little until it picked up and ended on a real high.

I really liked the plot line, I thought it was interesting and the characters had their own flavour that I really liked and bought into. However, for whatever reason, this book just lacked that little spark that would have made it a great read for me. It was a good read and I certainly enjoyed it, I just didn't love it.

One of the highlights was the relationship that the main characters had with their friends and a sideline of the relationship that developed between their friends and I would love to read more from them in the future.

3.5 stars

I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher via Net Galley; there was no inducement or obligation.

“You know how this works?”

“Yeah. We keep trying,” he said simply. “If we really want it, then we don’t give up. That easy.”

Kylie Scott always delivers an easy to follow plot with characters that are dimensional. In Trust, we open with a scene that changes the lives of the main characters in seconds. These two main characters, John and Edie are bound by this traumatic moment in more ways than one. They are the only ones who understand exactly what the other is going through as they lived a horrifying crime that has ripple effects on their lives and those around them.



Edie was an extraordinary character for me. She is unapologetically “real”. She’s witty and clever and had some lines that were pretty amazing. I cracked a smile after many of her conversations with her friends. After the incident she realizes that life is short and the things that made her hesitate she now realizes how petty it really is. However, finding that delicate balance of apathy and emotion is now not so easy. Edie struggles with life and the only thing keeping her sane is John. But, is this connection real?



John was there are the right moment to save Edie but he’s no angel. As the high school bad boy, he realizes that sometimes a reputation can certainly lead to nowhere. I think John’s attempt at redemption was a compelling point for this book for more than just high school. It isn’t easy to turn your life around and John attempts this at a young age where emotions and hormones are running high. I couldn’t help but hope that John reaches what he’s looking for.



Trust also has secondary characters that keep this story light when it could easily fall into very dark plot points. Trust flirts with the light and heavy themes in its pacing with proper banter, a gripping story and light hearted romance.

Shel: Over the last year or so we've enjoyed having some of our favorite contemporary romance writers venturing into the YA world which is the world you'll enter in Trust--a mature YA world. It starts off in tragedy involving our heroine, Edie, and follows her as she tries to work through all of the trauma and stress of that night. Edie's reactions--from closing herself off from the people who hurt her, lashing out and standing up for herself, to finding friends who could be worthy and protective of her, and feeling both apathy, restlessness, stress, and a desire to explore and push boundaries--seemed exactly how many teenagers and adults would cycle after such an event. What makes this novel so readable, though, is that those harder emotional moments are balanced out with a lot of humor and vulnerability and awkwardness and I think that, especially, is something that teens will relate to. It's that jumble of all sorts of emotions that may not always seem to go together (and they way she expresses them) that makes Edie so fun to read.

Court: I declare this to be the best young adult novel that I have read in at least 5 years. It is a top favorite because of all of the things Shelley listed, but to expound on that a little bit...it is the epitome of the teenage experience...especially as you're transitioning into adulthood. The trauma she experienced and how she dealt with it...and just learned to be okay in her skin as she is bullied and having to make new friends and be betrayed by people she trusted....it is just the most well rounded, well written book I have read this year, as well. Kylie Scott is an exceptionally talented author and I feel like I have been made better by her words.

Shel: The secondary characters--Hang, Anders, and especially John--also provide great comic relief and a way for Edie to learn how to live and trust after living through such a horrific event. I loved the friend group Kylie Scott created for Edie and all of the parties and places she invented; they had this great blend of reality and fiction that gave it a John Hughes film quality to the story arc and now that I'm thinking about it, this would make a great teen film: tons of humor, sarcasm, angst, and trauma with an underlying pathos that makes it so relatable. Trust is a book I would love to add to my classroom bookshelf; I know I'd have a lot of students who'd love it. Court: Right! I am going to get this one on my bookshelf so I can lend it far and wide...It has all of the flair of a teen drama, with a traumatic event that will keep you guessing...as well as a beautiful coming of age story that really explores the relationship with John and Edie as they go from survivors to friends to maybe something more...John is a great character. He's honest. He communicates. He really grows as a character in this book and helps Edie grow and I loved the two of them together. Another late night caused by Kylie Scott and you definitely will not hear me complain.

I super enjoyed this book.
I thought that Scott handled every single issue with grace and authenticity.
Edie and John were fused together over the course of a single moment.
Edie and John give me the feels whenever I think about them.
I felt them. I felt them bone deep.
If you're looking for a realistic mature YA, grab this baby because it does not disappoint.

Kylie Scott's New Adult novels are like a drug to me. Anything she releases, it immediately makes its way to my e-reader because I'm fairly confident her books will give me that fix I've always been craving. Her writing has grown tremendously since her Stage Dive series and finding out her plans to release a YA novel somehow threw me off the loop... in a good way, I guess.

I admit I'm a little wary about trying out things that I'm not quite certain of. I'm a picky YA reader, but with Kylie Scott being one of my favourite authors, I surely had to give her the benefit of the doubt.

And I don't regret doing so.

Trust was a whole different level of YA. It dwelled in the mature side of adolescence; sex, drugs, bullying, mental health, teen rebellion, and even crime. It features the story of two incredibly flawed and broken teens brought together by a series of unfortunate events, starting from a mini-mart robbery gone wrong. Edie and John weren't just victims, but survivors of a tragedy, but surviving came with a price in the form of nightmares, PTSD, anger, and hate.

Kylie Scott's diversity among her characters, albeit small, was something I truly appreciated, especially with Edie being a plus size heroine. I related to her so much, as a girl who has struggled with her weight her whole life. However, despite John not being physically different to most cute YA heroes, his personality stood out and got me hooked. I also enjoyed the side characters brought into the novel; Hang, Edie's new found Asian best friend as well as Anders, John's hilarious buddy.

I enjoyed how Edie and John found solace from each other as they work on dealing with their trauma and getting back on the right track. It was entertaining to read how their relationship slowly progressed to a romantic relationship, but still never strayed away from the realistic teenage romance: awkward, embarrassing but nonetheless, full of raw emotion. Although, I admit--even if it goes against everything I stand for when it comes to romance novels--this book could've also done well without the romance.

Kylie Scott definitely has potential in writing YA novels but frankly speaking, it isn't her strong suit, despite Trust being an enjoyable read. Although, I'd have to say, Kylie Scott can surely write a kickass suspense novel! The suspense in Trust was incredibly gripping and chilling, and surely kept me on the edge of my seat.

Reading Trust was an emotional rollercoaster. It's honest, raw, crass, gripping, and somehow the epitome of a teen's life, kinda of without the 'survivor of a robbery-turned-hostage' situation bit. This book isn't for everybody, but then again, life isn't all rainbows and butterflies. I'd suggest getting into this book with an open mind, should anyone decide to pick it up. But I assure you, this book will keep you entertained and on your toes from beginning till end.

What an intense opening scene. I haven't read one like it in some time. It drew me in immediately.

Edie and John survived quite the ordeal. It bonded them and they struck up an unlikely friendship. They both started to see the world differently. John wants to do better in school, to make something of himself. And Edie is tired of being bullied. I loved the way she started to stand up for herself.

It takes some time but the friendship ignites into more. But it's just a matter of time before their ordeal rears its ugly head again. Great story. I was hooked. If you like YA I highly recommend. Great job for Scott's first dive into the genre.

*FYI - though it's YA I don't recommend for younger readers as there's drug and alcohol use, violence, and graphic sex.*

TRUST is a standalone novel by Kylie Scott centered around two teenagers and the fallout from a convenience store robbery gone bad. Rather than a guy and a girl meeting at a party or some other conventional way, 17-year-old Edie Millen and 18-year-old John Cole are drawn together by a traumatizing close brush with death. While I normally go for romances with much lighter themes, TRUST has many aspects that make this book a compelling and entertaining read.

Over the course of this book, the classic teenage odyssey THE CATCHER IN THE RYE by J.D. Salinger is referenced and it is almost impossible for the reader not to naturally draw parallels. Although the main characters in TRUST are not rich kids, this story has a lot of the same charm and enjoyable, realistic dialogue as Sean Wilsey's memoir OH THE GLORY OF IT ALL.

I love a great character-driven story, and TRUST is an intense story of young love peppered with a little violence and a humor to even things out. The teenagers in TRUST vary wildly and are realistically flawed without being stereotypes. The dialogue rings true and says a lot about who the characters are. Edie and John both have their lives drastically altered after being witnesses to a robbery accompanied by murder in cold blood. They both experience different symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and ways of coping with it. For Edie, she loses a best friend while gaining a few new ones, and finds a romance very unexpectedly with her fellow survivor John.

Although TRUST is only told through Edie's perspective, Kylie Scott does a good job of giving John some depth and making the reader care about his dysfunctional family life. I like Edie because, even though she's young and has the same insecurities many people do, being through a life-or-death experience has given her a low tolerance for phonies. This new lease on life has given her the freedom to speak her mind and grow an appealing toughness. The romance that develops between Edie and John happens very gradually and organically. Their late night talks create an intimacy that encourages their spark of attraction to grow.

TRUST has a story you can sink your teeth into and characters you care about. This book has the dry humor and fabulously real female characters that are typical of a Kylie Scott book, and that I crave. Edie's new friend Hang and John's buddy Anders provide a nice distraction from the central drama without overshadowing it and add some comic relief. I look forward to Kylie Scott's next book.

That fateful night when two strangers form a bond in the wake of tragedy ... Edie Millen and John Cole are at the wrong place at the wrong time only to find they are the survivors of a convenience store robbery gone terribly bad. When fate intervenes once again the two find themselves at the same High School and forming a friendship that goes places most people could never comprehend. Can a friendship born out of misfortune become a love so strong that its depth is immeasurable?

Kylie Scott, no stranger to inner turmoil and edgy subject matter, does an exceptional job of growing her characters as they emerge from a life-changing event in Trust. In this work her leads manifest sensitivity in different ways but are no less affected by what life has thrown at them. With blunt honesty this author tackled subjects ranging from PTSD, body image, bullying and loneliness as she expressed the multitude of issues her cast were dealing with. Ms. Scott's joining of Edie and John in blind trust and binding them in earned trust took this story to hard places and left them stronger individually and close to invincible as a couple. The journey taken to process the best and worse in life was conveyed by this author with realism and poise. As the portrayals floundered and dealt with situations that they were not fully equipped for, in different ways, they were able to ground themselves from the chaos with their trust and Edie and John beautifully complimented each other as they found their footing. Kylie Scott's Trust was a captivating, bare and unforgettable read.

I was a fan of Kylie's for a few years now when she wrote her adult series - Stage Dive, so of course I added her newest creation to my TBR. Honestly I didn't even read that much into the blurb... I was SOLD! Only after when a friend commented 'I hope you enjoy ya' did I realize that Kylie wrote something different and yet as I was reading it it felt like Kylie through and through. The story had it all soul, heart, humor even if all of it was presented in a ya/na-ish setting.

Edie and John are just typical high school teenagers who are thrown together by a tragic incident. Except they are not typical at all because even being young of age what they both go throughout the book an adult would not be able to handle as well. However, thankfully they find each other and understand each other on a completely another level as they both literally survive a convenience store robbery... yep guns and all.

Edie as a private school girl has loads of insecurities as do all the teenagers but when the repercussions of the incident change her point of view on things she goes about changing that. Which wowed me to what type of woman Edie will grow up to be if she was so clear minded (although troubled) about how to cope with the aftermath of the robbery.

Thankfully, Edie was not alone and had John from the beginning. The child man who didn't have it easy in life but the events of the robbery shake his view of things as well. And once Edie is back in his life he becomes her shadow, her guardian, her sanity... as she becomes same to him in return.

Their love story is an epic one in my eyes. I have enjoyed each page of this book either with tears or smiles. This was a different read than what I expect of Kylie but after finishing this I hope she writes more of such connection found in early years. Do not get scared by the YA label. It is written so well and in such mature angle that you do not have to be a teen to enjoy this... or even relate to it. In many instances I kept going 'well I know adults who have recently just learned how to change their perspective in such a profound way' as both Edie and John execute so well. Perhaps those adults are just missing their half to encourage that transition... who knows.

When I first read the blurb for this first YA venture by Kylie Scott I was immediately hooked and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. And I was not disappointed in the least (not that there was ever a doubt).

We meet Edie & John when they end up in a life altering event during the beginning of their senior year of high school. They were each on different paths with their lives and we see how facing death in the face changes their trajectory and the way they look at life.

John, the popular good looking guy with a less than positive side job finds himself wanting to get on the straight and narrow. Edie is the good girl -for the most part- who keeps her head down from the bully’s and does what she should who now finds herself questioning what matters and angry after that fateful night.

Together, they are the only ones who understands where the other’s head lies and in the process help to heal each other where no one else can. Two people who may not have been in each other’s lives before are now each other’s life lines and learn to trust each other to heal.

Both of these characters are likable, relatable and endearing. To watch their relationship grow and how they are there for each other, no questions needed, when they are hurting and scared is beautiful.

To also see how they handle normal high school drama/relationships in the face of what they dealt with had me glued to this read.

From the unthinkable moments that the main characters find themselves in to the the last line, Kylie Scott weaves a story that you are instantly hooked in and can’t step away from. If YA novels are not your usual go to you truly need to give this one a try. I’m so happy that I was sent this ARC because it has really made me want to give more YA reads a try.

Sometimes things happen in life change you. Edie was changed after the she was held hostage in a robbery at a convenience store. She is done with putting up with the bullying and snotty attitude of those teenagers at her private school. She changes schools and goes to the local public high school. She discovers John, the boy who risked his life to save her during the robbery also goes to this school too.

The robbery changed John, he isn't partying or dealing drugs anymore. He going to classes and thinking about a future after high school. This is something he wasn't doing before. Edie’s now running wild after the robbery and doing things she would have never done before.

John feels he needs to keep her safe and out of trouble. These two form a bond that grows into a friendship. Could more come of this blossoming friendship? What happens when Edie's recklessness leads to John helping Edie lose her virginity?

Another dangerous situation occurs, will they survive this one when they have more at stake this time around, losing each other?


OMG, I loved this story. I love that the characters Edie and John. These two are great together. After the robbery, they reverse characteristics where John is settling down and Edie is acting reckless. I love that John is there for her every step of the way. They form a friendship that grows, could it be more or is it just a bond over living through the robbery. As the lines of friendship blur another dangerous situation has them hoping to survive this one together because being apart is not even an option anymore. I couldn't put this one down and I enjoyed it so much. I love when characters grow and develop throughout a story. Edie and John survive a scary thing and are drawn to each other because of it. I just love these two. John this rough around the edges who cares for about Edie. It's a new feeling for John and I just love reading about their story. I would recommend this to anyone its a great book.
