Riley and Josh have been through it all together, first as best friends and now as a couple.
Faced with a decision that will test their relationship, these two learn to fight harder than ever before to keep their hearts intact. Once the decision is made, there is no going back. With the past creeping into their present, and miles between them, they learn nothing is easy. Every moment matters.
Can Riley and Josh survive the first year of college apart? Will their love remain strong enough to embrace every moment that belongs to them? Or will someone from the past interfere, take what he wants and ruin them forever?

One late morning, she lands herself in detention, where she finds herself next to her brother's best friend. The boy who doesn't even remember her, and the one who won't stop staring at her.

But detention leads to conversations, and conversations lead to things she never saw coming. ****** This book has been mostly rewritten. If you previously started reading, I would suggest going back so it makes sense. **Contains swearing. Touches on topics such as eating disorders, sexual themes, and abuse.** Not edited.
