Sequel to White Hot Forever. Two silent months after the tragedy went down at the O'Connell's family's cabin, the three girls try their best to put the past behind them. The last semester of senior year begins to unroll as new characters, drama and problems settle in Clearwater. The eeriness of the town feels heavier and the past seems to still be their present. Here Maddy and friends must find a way to get past the tragic events for their own sake....only some unwanted attention keeps them in the dark.

Rowan, a girl of a coy and passive nature, did not expect to be flung into someone else's life so abruptly- and graphically at that. It could have been anyone, but for a reason unknown to her, the universe chose her. The life she stepped into belonged to another girl, that to Rowan's dismay, was unaware of how prized of a possession she truly was. She did not value every breath she took or even the supple skin on her body. But her helpless soul was not to blame. Billie struggled with a list of issues doctors of all kinds were unable to diagnose. Everyday was a fight against her conscience and she feared, a day would come in which she would lose. In a way, the pair were star-crossed. Rowan knew the severity of Billie's situation and her undeniable inability to be helped, but still, she could never forgive herself if she had turned a blind eye and walked away after that single, dark and rainy night. She often questioned whether or not her actions were fueled by an honorable sense of selflessness or its much more complicated counterpart- selfishness.

The life I had built with her was gone, back to square one. But why did it feel so real, her touch still lingered on my skin. I had a longing desire to feel it again, but I had no idea where to look. And then I saw her again. I thought to myself, I must be dreaming. ~~~~ This book does contain mature themes, please read at your own risk.
