Noelle Ellis and Sebastian Sallow just can't understand each other's feelings after their fifth year. Republished Book.

Alessia "Alex" Reyes used to love writing-like, really love it. Now she can't even open her laptop without feeling sick. She swore she was done-until one late night of "I'll just try a little" turns into something impossible. Because when Alex wakes up, she's not in her room anymore. She's in her story. The one she swore she'd never finish. And the boy glaring at her across the room? Well, he's the reason why. What starts as a love story becomes something darker, stranger, and a little too personal- because when the world you built starts fighting back, it's hard to tell who's really the villain.
