When Kaya Perry graduates college, the last place she wants to go back is Layton, the town that she left behind. She left that place with bad memories and no friends, so there is no way she's looking to go back. So it's really a bummer when the job that she wants is right there in that little town. It's also a bummer when her high school crush is still there as well.

Maybe it's possible to find happiness in a place where she never found any.

Graduation is right around the corner for Ada Sinclair. She's spent all of high school saving up for her dream college and skipped high school traditions to keep her grades up for scholarships. When the acceptance letter came in the mail, every ounce of her effort felt worth it. She's spent her life being a small fish in a small pond, but eagerly awaits September so she can spread her wings and move on to big things. When her mother comes home to reveal she is in the early stages of Huntington's Disease, a disease passed down from her own mother, she can't hide from the truth she may be next in line. It is then that her plans and dreams for her future shatter. Nothing is more important to her than her family, people who need her and her strength more than Ada needs her dreams. Not knowing how much time she has left with her mother, she makes the choice to remain at home and has no regrets. Only the fear of uncertainty. Feeling like the world is crashing down on her, Ada turns to the man who's been there for her for the last four years. He'd given her the confidence she needed to become the woman she is now, held her while she cried and has been there through every struggle she's faced. He seems fully willing to be there for her again, even if that means risking his career as a teacher; her teacher. As their friendship grows stronger, they find strength in one another and a connection they can only ignore for so long, a connection that comes with life-changing consequences for them both.

This time, I can't help but flinch as he touches me and pulls the other strap down .. bearing my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony .. you can't say those things. We .. we're supposed to be best friends." As I try to reason with him, he begins to kiss my shoulder .. making the words come out so much more weaker than intended. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath, anxious as I wait to hear what he's going to say next. "But I don't know if that's enough for me anymore .." Anthony moves my hair to side, and the words he speaks are paired with a slow kiss to the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After having her heart broken and being bullied out of her high school, when an opportunity to leave takes the form of a scholarship to a private university, she packs up and accepts happily. Everything was supposed to start over that year, all she had to do was lay low and maintain a focus on her studies to graduate. Until she meets a guy in her Spanish class. Beatrix's world is turned upside down as she explores new friendships and begins to open back up to the world. She begins to navigate her new life on campus, filled with arduous exams, study sessions, hard decisions and of course .. a little drama and excitement to make things entertaining. This is a slow burn!!!

Andrew is an introverted guy who's also a bit of a weeb. He has bad anxiety (which has its own triggers but it doesn't deprive him of the ability to make friends) and sometimes thinks negatively of himself. It doesn't help that he's gay and he hides it from almost everyone except his best friends. This year, he's staring college. Nathan is one of the most good-looking seniors in the same college Andrew is attending. He's in his junior year. He has a good reputation in college and he gets along with almost everyone. He knows he's straight and he only dates girls. Until one day, Andrew and Nathan cross paths. What will happen to them? Find out the story of Andrew and Nathan by reading my first ever book.
