Short Synopsis: Sam, a young girl, is doing everything she can to get a scholarship to Stanford and decides to work at Sawyer House, a call center, to add as an extra curricular. She just never expected to fall in love with one of the people she was supposed to help save.

My Thoughts: Though intended for a more mature audience, I absolutely loved this novel and devoured it in one day.

Samantha, a pastor's daughter, has worked very hard to get to where she is. But even with all her achievements, it might not be enough to get her into the school of her choice. Under the school guidance councilor's advice, Sam decides to join a call center. She also meets a very powerful and handsome individual named Collins McGregor, and has very strong feelings for him, even though he has certain needs that she isn't too comfortable with.
But as soon as she starts working at the call center, Sam feels like she belongs, as she starts to listen to other people's problems, rather than dealing with her own family drama. While working at the call center one day, Sam encounters a very strange caller named Daggers, who needs advice. But she never expected to continue talking to him, and learning more about him. And though she thought that being at the call center would help others, she never dreamed that she would be the one who needed saving, and that this certain caller, just might be what she needed. 

A very original, fast paced, entertaining read. I loved how even though the characters seemed a bit disturbing, they were all very real, and had relatable problems. I enjoyed reading what Sam goes through, and that she is a great example of the fact that even though your life might seem perfect on the outside, on the inside, it can be a total wreck.
It was also interesting to read how a call center operates, and that issues can be ranging from minor to serious, and through Sam's eyes, we see that everyone else has problems too. I loved comparing the chemistry between Sam and Collins and Sam and Daggers, the caller. It was a mystery to read who Sam might have stronger feelings for, and with the mix of her friend Derek, it was most certainly, a can't put down novel. 
The only situation that I had with this novel was the fact that it dealt with some serious issues, and didn't really think that it should have been included in the young adult genre. Everything else was great. Interesting characters, with a plot leaving you wanting more. I definitely can't wait to read what happens next, and look forward to the sequel.

Would I recommend this book: Yes!

Rating: I give this book a 4.5/5.
