People love saying time heals everything. But they never talk about what happens when the person who broke you heart comes back pretending they never did. That the boy who once swore to protect you becomes a stranger. Funny, right? Because August Weber was once my best friend. The boy who called me Dove. The boy who promised, 'Always you before love and life.' And then he destroyed me. In front of the whole school. So I changed. Not into someone better. Into someone colder. Now people lower their eyes when they speak to me. The old Alexis died two years ago. Or at least that is what I believed. Until the school doors opened. Until the boy who ruined me walked back into my life and said, "Hello, beautiful." #2 in Teen Love #4 in humour #15 in friendship #10 in best friends #36 in teen fiction #42 in teen My most impressive ranking so far The cover does not belong to me.
