SHORT BLURB - In a search for self-discovery runaway bride Arianne Blackwell takes a trip back into her past, when she was just seventeen years old and plummeted into a messy love with Alejandro Velasco, in order to work out why she left her current fiancé Oliver at the altar.
FULL SYNOPSIS - Arianne Blackwell is everything you'd expect in a Queen Bee and more. And she thrives in Brookswich, a town that comes hand in hand with money, power and pompous assholes.
Everything about Alejandro Velasco spells trouble with a promise. And he thrives in The Underwoods, a town that's only minutes from Brookswich but may as well be worlds away. Poverty, street gangs and fist fights as far as the eye could see.
When Arianne is transferred, much to her displeasure, to Underwood High she's forced to make some serious changes to both her internal and external outlook on people who live less fortunately than her. She's also forced to grow the hell up and realise that you don't get to choose who you fall for; even if theoretically they are completely wrong for you.

- This story includes controversial opinions on Religion and it's teachings that - please bear in mind - are not necessarily my own opinions but are the opinions of the characters and are crucial to their growth and back story.
- Brookswich, The Underwoods & Three Streams are not real places, they're towns I made up.
- This is probs gonna be one long ass read.
