Harlee Ramirez and James Whitmire have been best friends since they were nine years old. Harlee is bold and outspoken while James is shy and reserved. And their differences make the dynamic of their friendship special. So special that Harlee always believed they were unbreakable and that nothing could come between them.

Where Étienne was steady, Lou was wild, filling every moment with laughter and light. But that was before. Before Lou disappeared. At twenty-two, Louella has become a ghost of her former self, retreating into a world of silence and secrets after deferring her college dreams.
