Autumn Sommers wants to forget what happened on the bus. It was three years ago, but avoiding Alex Wolf has become standard, especially since everyone knows about his secret sketchbook-and the drawings of her inside. The incident followed them from junior-high and now, in their sophomore year, the two have been paired on a project.
Autumn just wants to get through it. She needs to maintain her grades to keep her terrible Aunt Milly from moving back in, but working with Alex might be impossible since they have to pretend to be a couple for their assignment. Forced to put their past on hold, the two focus on their fictitious relationship until the lines between real and fake get blurred, and they discover there might be some truth to the façade. But things have changed since seventh grade. Alex has a secret, and it could mean the end of their new friendship...and more.
After everything they've been through, Autumn isn't sure she can go back to the way it was. With their project-and her heart-on the line, she'll need to prepare for whatever happens, even if it means a return to silence with the boy she wants the most.
