"Beneath it all, what is love? Who are we to say we love when all we know is how to be afraid?" All Sarah Apastalle knew was how to be alone. Living with only her mom after her dad left as a kid, she's struggled to fit in. She finally began to understand her place when she met Jamie, and she began to live her life in high school as the unpopular, slightly awkward girl, thinking she understood what love was. In comes Alex, the boy who her mom suggests she "talk to" more. His dad owns one of the biggest companies in town, and if Sarah doesn't screw everything up, they can rise from the poverty they live in. The person she loves, or the person she has to love? She struggles to find herself beneath it all. ❣
