Henrietta "Henry" Kingsley lives in a world where everyone has a countdown on their wrist that hits 0 when they meet their soul mate. When she meets hers, all she wants is to be happy with him for the rest of their lives-- like they should be. But when her best friend leaps into the uncharted territory of loving what belongs to Henry, her world crumbles, and she has to put everything in it's place once again. (Disclaimer: although I wrote this story myself, I can't take credit for the original idea/inspiration. That goes to a tumblr post i found on Pinterest, which I have included in the prologue.)

Rediscovering your past and trying to live in the moment isn't easy, but this seventeen year old is intent on making it work. One week before her senior year of high school, Brinley Jacobs moves back to the town she grew up in with her mother, three year old brother, and without her father. She starts off her final year of high school with a broken heart and a new boy who knows too much about her past.

"Ouch, my self-esteem. You really know how to hurt a man." "You're barely a man. You're like twelve." "On a scale of one to ten? How sweet!" I stopped walking, causing him to come to an abrupt stop a mere inch behind me, "What the hell do you want?" "You." ~ VALERIE LOCKHART. Sassy, sarcastic, sweet and obsessed with avocados. Her past was horrible. Her mother was murdered. No thrill. Until she met him. ELIJAH HASTAWAY. Flirtatious, caring and ridiculously attractive. His past was horrible. He lost everything. No love. Until he met her. When the past is left unresolved, it bleeds like ink, destroying every page and chapter to follow. You better fix the problem before it seeps in and ruins the entire book. ⚠️ The following story may appear cliche but there is a lot more to it, so buckle up, it's gonna be a rollercoaster of emotions, stupid puns and plot twists! ⚠️ ~ Completed: August 2018 Cover created by: @silverrosess ❤️ This book was inspired by a text post by tumblr user: christmasbarakat :)) ~ ON AMAZON AS A PAPERBACK WITH EXCLUSIVE PARTS FOR JUST $9.95 (USD)! ~ PLEASE DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.
