Sometimes we bump into a certain person who is undeniably familiar to us, that we seem to have heard her voice before and that we seem to get used to the person's sick sense of humor. This is what Jake feels around Alex. He would mistake her as Lexa, Chicago's famous radio host and the only girl he has been dreaming to spend the rest of his life with. *sighs* Fanboy issues. It just so happens that his theory is utterly correct, that what he has been thinking about Alex is, without any doubt, the truth. Alex is Lexa. Alex is the very same voice Jake has been hearing on the radio. And she is just pretending to be a normal person, trying to hide the celebrity inside of her. Who knows? The paparazzi can be anywhere. But Jake, being extremely stupid for not pointing out the oh-so-obvious details, doesn't know the exact truth about Alex or anything that is close to knowing her identity. Secrets can still be kept. But an identity can't be hidden forever. © Copyright 2013 Cynthia Green

"It was an infatuation with an unattainable girl. You were in love with the idea of her. Not her."-Riley Lawrence, expert in love and how to survive high school. Riley Lawrence is a survivor. His friend Nora (and the love of his short life) is a fighter. Together they are the definition of awesome and have the ability to save the world, just not themselves. You see all his life Riley has been surviving, which he comes to realize is nowhere near the same thing as living. What brings on this sudden realization? Well it's a combination of being diagnosed with cancer and also meeting, befriending and falling in love with the charming, fearless and utterly charismatic Nora. Together they embark on a journey of learning how to live rather than just survive and maybe even how to love. Join them in their adventure and help them answer the question, when love isn't about forever, what is it about?

When she moves to Granite Falls, New Hampshire, Aspen Laurent knows she is running away. After witnessing a mass murder at her high school just months prior, she is harboring not only a terribly vivid memory of the bloodshed, but a secret as well, one that would change not only everyone’s perception of the shooting itself, but of her as a person. Hoping she can start over in a new town, Aspen immerses herself in her writing and in forging happiness out of change. At first, it seems easy. She meets Daniel Summers, a boy who manages to distract her from the horrors of her past, a boy harboring secrets of his own. But despite a budding friendship, it isn’t long before she realizes she can’t keep her secret forever, that some day, she’ll have to face reality and tell the truth about what happened that day.
