| SAMPLE ONLY; READ IT NOW ON GALATEA | ❝He's the boy she left behind. She's the girl he let go.❞ ➵ Before she became one of music's biggest up-and-coming artists, Evelyn "Evie" Chase was a nobody at the bottom of the Roosevelt High School food chain with only a handful of friends. Her best friend (and longtime crush)--popular jock, Adam Fields--was her polar opposite, but despite their differences, their bond was as strong as they come. That is, until one day-- one mistake--changed the course of their friendship forever, and the once inseparable duo never spoke again. Fast forward three years, and everything's changed. Evie has the world at her feet, now out in L.A. living her dream as a seventeen-year-old popstar-- leaving the town, the boy who broke her heart, and those who'd made high school unbearable behind. Meanwhile, Adam--at Roosevelt finishing off senior year and still the school (and town's) beloved "golden boy"--is trying his hardest to let go of the past and the girl he let get away. And it's going well, the two of them living their separate lives. Until Evie's back. Suddenly, seventeen and senior year just got a lot more interesting.

When Nate, who apparently is trouble for Kelsey, comes in the picture, things complicate. Others might think that she's this perfect, rich, straight-A student with a brother who was to die for, but she's not. Her parents are divorced, her mom overdosed on pills, and her brother might not be that "perfect" brother he used to be. The only bittersweet thing might be Nate leaving. During her senior year, things may be back to normal. But someone up there must have wanted a book written about Kelsey since he brings in a surprise. (new summary as of December 29, 2012)
