part 2 to pretty things we pretend

When Jane Carter comes home from college, she expects the same sleepy hometown, the same chaos, and the same infuriating boy she spent years trying to hate. What she doesn't expect is Eli Bennett. Her best friend Lily's older brother is no longer the cocky teenager who teased her through high school. Now he's sharper, calmer, devastatingly attractive-and still completely obsessed with getting under her skin. Jane swears she hates him. Eli knows she doesn't. And in a town where everyone can see the tension except them, old feelings, buried heartbreak, and years of unfinished history begin unraveling fast. Especially when Jane starts realizing the boy she hated may have been loving her all along.
