Marley is good at pretending. Pretending that she's not traumatized by her sister's death. Pretending that she doesn't feel guilty for being the cause of the accident that killed her sister. Pretending she's fine. Even her closest friends are unaware of her past. Omitting the truth is now just part of her. 

Until Liam, the persistent and flirtatious nephew of her next-door-neighbors moves in. For some reason, Marley finds it hard to keep her carefully constructed façade intact around Liam. 

For the last three years her guilt has made her try to make up for her sister's absence. Formerly a rebel without a cause with abysmal grades and an even worse attendance record, she has turned a 180 and became the perfect student with perfect grades in an attempt to go to med school, which was her sister's biggest dream. Marley figures if she can achieve June's dreams, then maybe she isn't completely gone, maybe she didn't just die for nothing Maybe her parents will finally utter her name again. Maybe her overwhelming guilt will finally go away. Maybe she'll finally, truly be at peace.

"What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he.

Half of My Heart ✔️ by koolkenz

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.
