Blakin Weywin tried out for basketball at the end of eighth grade to be in it for ninth grade, fully expecting to get in. She didn't get in, sadly, completely destroying her life. So instead of her seventh hour elective being basketball practice, it would have to be her alternative, which is a class she would've never wanted: Art.
Torres Eakerman loves art. He prides himself in perfection in every single piece he creates. But when the stubborn and rebellious girl Blakin Weywin comes waltzing into his class not giving a damn and claiming this class is just an alternative, he just might have to paint a picture into her heart.
This is a story about how failure is not the end for us; there's always more for us down the line. If you are dealing with failure like I am or love a good romance with plot, then I think you'll like this book.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 ＆ 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Thing is, Antonio's best friend, Hunter Ashton, has a crush on Charlotte. So, Skye and Hunter make a deal to pair each other with their crushes. Skye with Antonio, and Hunter with Charlotte.

"This is a story about our love. An intoxicating, fast-paced love that didn't think of time as a source of measurement over the course of a summer that changed my life forever.
