Aurora Rose Tarrow prefers to live in worlds that aren't real - films, music, books - anything to avoid facing the one she's actually in. Quiet, observant, and emotionally distant, she's determined to get through her final year at Easton Grove High without drawing attention to herself. But when Theodore James Callahan, a mysterious new transfer with a drumstick-tapping habit and a reputation he hasn't even earned yet, walks into her classroom, Aurora's carefully built distance begins to crack. As the year unfolds, so do her secrets - ones she's kept hidden even from her friends. She just needs to survive one more year. Before he figures her out. 1st in sad love story 1st in book nerd 3rd in sad romance Edited by Ai but I have written it myself.
