But what she doesn't know is that Blake has a secret, and it's something he desperately wants to keep from her. Falling in love with someone isn't as easy as it might seem. Life isn't fair, but Leah and Blake are about to find out that love isn't either.

But he is there, making me question everything, question the truth, question reality and more deadly... question myself falling for him. Spotter: I see everything.
