you fade away |h.s|

Paisley Hill has never been in love. The slo-mo, can't-eat-can't-sleep kind of love she's been hoping for just hasn't been on the cards-at least not yet. Paisley's too busy trying to get into a semi-decent college and become editor of her school newspaper, a dream three years in the making. The rest of her spare time she spends with her best friends, Lara and Murray, playing video games and advising them on their own sordid love lives.
Then she meets Harry Styles, the elusive new boy in school, who wears oversized clothing, walks with a cane, rarely seems to shower, and is hiding crushing secrets. He's hardly who Paisley expected her dream boy to be, but when the two are chosen to edit the paper together, sparks fly. After all this time, Paisley's about to learn firsthand just how disastrous the road to first love can be-and that sometimes it's the detours that end up mattering much more.

A potent reminder of the bittersweet bliss that is first love.
