"This is a story about our love. An intoxicating, fast-paced love that didn't think of time as a source of measurement over the course of a summer that changed my life forever. "A love that resembled a firework. It went up with a bang - outbursts of colors, sounds and emotion - but only out with a short fizzle. An outline of smoke, with the ashes on the ground as the only telltale sign that we actually had something." ~~~~~~~~~~ « further description inside » #2 IN YOUNG ADULT (2/20/20) #6 IN #SUMMER (4/8/19) #93 IN TEEN FICTION (3/25/18) #97 IN TEEN FICTION (3/22/18) #263 IN TEEN FICTION (3/6/18) #647 IN TEEN FICTION (2/23/18) #674 IN TEEN FICTION (2/20/18) #853 IN TEEN FICTION (2/18/18) (An Ex-Featured Wattpad Pick)

Aria Silver considers herself relatively lucky - as far as teenagers go. She goes to a good school, has good friends, is on the varsity cheerleading team, and has a family as decent as families get. She's happy and can hardly imagine anything changing. That is, until the week of tequila, the sirens of an ambulance, a new boy, and a funeral. After realizing that life isn't all what it's made up to be sometimes, Aria is left to her own resorts to try to answer some of the worlds longest, burning questions: In a world full of so much despair, how do we find something worth living for? How do we keep fighting, even if we fail to see the silver linings?
