"Every girl has three guys in her life: The one she loves, the one she hates, and the one she can't live without. But in the end, they're all the same guy." ~Unknown Katherine Blakeslee hated Colby Tozier; or so she thinks. However, she had to deal with his stupid jokes, annoying smile, and horrible pranks each and every day because Colby's cousin happened to be her best friend. She convinced herself that she hated his very existence, that if they were together on a cliff, she'd push him off at the first chance. Until the day things changed. Until the day he showed his true feelings to her...Until the day he kissed her. Katherine soon finds herself dealing with denial, enemies, exes, and mixed feelings. Can Katherine forgive Colby for all those years of torture he'd given her when she ends up having those mixed feelings for him? Based off the song My Dilemma by Selena Gomez.
