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. (Commission for Wattpad's promotion of the film "The Best of Me")

Reality doesn't break in my world. Meaning does. And once it starts shifting, nothing can be trusted. Not names, not objects, not even people. He arrived like he had always belonged there. But the strange thing wasn't that no one knew him... it was how no one asked. Except me. And I should have learned from the way the rain stopped when he looked at me. He didn't have a name anyone remembered. No history. No family. No trace of where he came from. Only the light reacted when he arrived. And for some reason, I couldn't stop watching him... even when everything in me said to look away. Some people bring darkness into a town. He brought light.
