Clary Fray can remember that one night in eighth grade where middle school heart-throb Jace Lightwood publicly humiliated her and broke her heart. Naturally, moving to New York was her lifesaver. But, of course, the past always catches up with the future. It's senior year. Clary's happy. And then Jace moves to the big apple and screws everything over. Both of them have changed and grew up, but their feelings just might still be there. Will it actually go somewhere this time, or will they just keep chasing pavements? This book is a work of fiction.
