Cassie Milton, a high school junior from LA, has just scored a dream scholarship for a weekly literature program at New York University. It should be the perfect opportunity—except for one huge complication. To make it work, she has to move to New York and live with her family's old friends. And living there means facing Logan, the guy who unknowingly broke her heart. As if that's not hard enough, Cassie's past starts creeping back into her life, and things quickly spiral out of control. Now she's stuck trying to figure out how to move forward when the past won't let her go.
"All my life, I thought I was completely and utter in love with that boy, but at this very second, I could not feel anymore indifferent."
