"It's been seven years, Niall. I thought...you'd forget about me." When Allie Hunter's mother died of cancer, her life was torn apart as her formerly close-knit family was uprooted from their homestead in Mullingar, Ireland and replanted in Venice Beach, California. Allie was terrified of leaving behind her home, the family she used to know, the house that connected her to her deceased mother, and her best friend; a small, brown-haired boy named Niall Horan who lived across the street. Seven years later, Allie's move has changed her life, and it's changed Niall's, too: he's a household name now, thanks to his world-famous boyband, and his hair is blonde, but his eyes are still the same icy blue that reminds Allie of home. Meeting Niall again by chance wasn't something had Allie accounted for, but after traveling across Europe with a group of wild British boys, re-visiting her past & finding the mother she never had, Allie realizes that it was something that she wouldn't trade for anything. After all, he's the one who found her.

"To tell the truth, just talking aloud soothes me. Maybe it's because telling these stories is like reliving those breathtaking moments. Or maybe because it reassures me that I won't ever forget them. To me, making sure these memories stay alive means Harry will, too."

I don't like One Direction. So can someone please tell me why I'm stuck on a game show with the five boys who have stolen millions of girls' hearts?

"As I sat on the toilet, I realized how badass I was being. First of all, I (kind of) broke into Walmart; Second, I was (kind of) plotting to steal toilet paper; and third, I was doing all this while a hurricane was brewing outside." Ellie wanted a quick trip to Walmart to buy some toilet paper for her mom. A minute in, a minute out. Instead, she got locked in. With her secret love, of course.
