Meet Jasmine Q. Phillips
she has everything anyone could want.
she has a big house, nice clothes, good grades, awesome friends, and a sweet boyfriend. But everyone knows the saying "don't judge a book by its cover," right? Because maybe not everything is as it seems in Jasmines world. Because this girl with the perfect life is harboring a secret. A secret that to her is the bane of her existence, a secret that must be kept hidden.
Now meet Ryder Jones
He is the schools outcast. The boy that sits in the back of the room, and hangs around no one. He's not exactly the schools bad boy, but he is most definitely the boy that you don't want to be seen around with. And he too is hiding something. He's hiding his past.
So when you combine a hidden secret, and a hidden past. An outcast, and a social butterfly. What exactly do you get?
Now add some humor, some pain, some revelations, some run ins with the cops, a strange phobia, a bucket list, a crashed funeral, midnight swims, princess tea parties, blind dates, a nerd-a-thon, and an unexpected road trip. What do you get then? You figure it out yet?
This is not just a story where the popular girl falls for the outcast. Or where the outcast falls for the popular girl.This is a story about finding your voice, who your friends are, and family. A story about becoming yourself, every part of you. A story about how some wounds are not just skin deep. And not all scars can be seen. This is a story on how not to judge a book by its cover, and trying to keep some thing's hidden away.

[COMPLETED] Autumn Cross is now in 12th grade at her new school, Willington High, with only one goal in mind: passing the 12th grade and going to a good college. But her world changes when she meets Ryder Becker.
Ryder Becker is one of the most popular boys in all of Willington High. I mean, all the boys want to be him and all the girls worship him. He could care less about grades because he knows that football is what's going to get him into a good college. But his carelessness in grades changes when he meets Autumn.
Not only does Autumn get partnered up with Ryder for the biggest class project of the whole year, she also lives on the same street as him. In the beginning she thinks it's a total curse, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise...
They both may pretend on the outside that they are fine, but truth be told, they are both broken. The way his smile doesn't match his sad eyes draws her towards him, and the scars and bruises on her skin draw him towards her. A cure for your sadness could be another person, right? Well put her broken pieces together with his, and you have cracked the code. Love could put their broken pieces back together.
-----------------------------------
A sky full of stars and he was still staring at me.
"Why are you staring like that?" I asked him.
"You scare me, Autumn." Ryder admitted.
"How come?"
He looked down at the grass beneath us then back at me and gulped. "Because I want to tell you secrets I'm too scared to admit to myself."

But sorry in advance for scenes that may seem unrealistically cringe...I was young and naive. But anyways,enjoy the book (hoping to write more books in the future)🤍
