Hudson Ellis is good at his job. Somehow, he manages not to annoy people when he knocks at their doors and asks them to contribute to the charity he works for - instead, he gets them to sign up for sponsoring programmes and fish whatever spare change they have out of their pockets. Even the infamously tough residents of New York City are falling victim to Hudson's easy-going ways and wide smile; that is, until one woman renders him speechless with sarcastic refusals and slams her door in his face. Perhaps Hudson would be able to forget her - if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the same floor of the next apartment over, and they both have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for a rather generous view into each other's flats.

Austen O'James is the classic invisible yet inspiring teenage girl, who's destined for greatness but who's just too afraid to leave the comfort of her shell. A bookworm at heart, and a secret passion for music, living with her mother after her parents divorce, alone with no siblings to squabble with, she wishes nothing but to leave her home town and escape into the stupendous world that everyone writes about in stories. However, currently she's fighting the battles of a zero existent social life that deems her too busy. But what happens when one day a small note is left for her in the library? And then another and another. Finally when everything starts looking up, Austen starts looking down, memorising the messy loopy handwriting of the boy she's never met, yet knew too much. How long until she starts quoting Nolan? #BOOK1 COMPLETED
