Chanel Lawrence is a seventeen year old girl, with no mother and a drunken so-called step-father. After months and months of enduring through humiliation, boys and continuous family drama, it is time for a change. All it took was for one moment and one faulty car for Chanel to meet Carson, the mysterious, handsome stranger who offers her the escape she’s been hoping for. With this, Chanel finds herself in more trouble than she was in originally, mixing from dangerous situations that almost get her killed, to even falling in love. Is this change really for the better, or would it just be best for her to return back to the place, most commonly labelled her 'home' with no friends and her drunken step-father?

Camille Settlemeyer’s life revolves around two great natural wonders—Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and Matt Everest, the boy she’s been in love with ever since they met at rock climbing camp five years ago. She might have to wait a few more years before her parents let her fly off to Nepal to scale the world’s tallest summit, but this summer Camille’s going to hit the road with Matt for one last climbing expedition before they part ways for college. Camille is convinced that a couple days alone with Matt in a beat-up van will make him realize they’re destined to be together. What she doesn’t account for is Matt bringing along his best friend from climbing camp, Tucker O’Hara, who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the constellations and a sense of humor drier than the sprawling Arizona desert. Camille doesn’t like how much of a know-it-all Tuck is, or how his gorgeous older sister seems to steal every last bit of Matt’s attention. But Camille’s about to learn that even the best climbers need a compass sometimes.

One snowy night, Lily Matheson finds herself on the same road she took years ago when she left behind Westfall along with the boy she’d loved for years. Propelled by a burning ambition to prove herself bigger than the small town existence everyone expected her to embrace, she forged a different path that took her far, far away from the future Adam Bishop once hoped to have with her. Counting him as the highest price she had to pay for her dreams, she contented herself with her new life until it became all too clear that the present was no longer a means to chase an elusive future but to hold on to a fast-fading past. In the company of memories, in the town they knew as well as each other, and in a night when time is at a standstill, Lily and Adam discover that to some, your first love could be your last if you’re brave enough to find your way back.
