"Two years ago, Austin Moon told me he loved me. And I haven't seen him since." Ally Dawson left her home, bound for Miami, two years ago. She saw the world again for the first time in ten years, and it changed her. Two months later, she was pulled right back to where she'd started. And now she's finally going back. She'll see Austin again, the only one who could feel music the way she could. But neither of them are quite the same. Because when he whispered those words to her, under the stars on a night two years ago, they were sixteen, and neither of them knew what love was. Ally is glad she's finally free, but at the same time, she knows she's not. She wants, no, she needs to really see the world, but there are a couple of things she doesn't want to leave behind.
