She's learned to rely on nobody but herself, the one person who's always been there. She's had hope and lost it; yet every time she tries to think with her head, her heart takes the lead. 𝒮𝒽ℯ 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉ℴ 𝒽𝒶𝓉ℯ 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝒷𝓊𝓉... Jakson Saintil is charming, funny, and off limits. There's a smile permanently stuck onto his face when he's around her. Everything in his life has been a joke; yet the one girl he can't make laugh...he just can't get away from. 𝒮𝒽ℯ 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝒾𝓃 𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓉𝒽ℯ 𝓌𝓇ℴ𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈. ℋℯ 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝒽ℯ𝓇, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 ℴ𝓃𝓁𝓎 𝒽ℯ𝓇. But high school has its surprises; and when one boy gives her hope, how can she let it go?

Dove Russell has had a scaring past, literally. She navigates her last year of high school in Tacoma, Washington after moving from Colorado with her parents to take care of her grandparents. She wants as little drama as possible (after everything else that happened) and to enjoy herself. She's just here to make it to graduation and then go off to college. But she never expects to be paired with the cocky lacrosse boy from her English class for a school assignment. She has no idea what to do now that he's in her life. Logan Laurent works hard and plays hard. He is juggling lacrosse, academics, and college applications without his normal ease. This year is somehow different. Usually he soars through the year but he's off his game. Could it have to do with the new girl from Colorado? This school assignment is bringing them closer together and Logan doesn't know what he's going to do when he'll eventually have to let her go.
