Home schooled since 5th grade, Rachel Hallows returns to public school and tries to survive with the help of Macy Robins, her lifelong best friend.
But then she meets Calum, her brother's best friend whom she knew nothing about. An adjustment this big isn't easy, but neither is having a crush on your brother's best friend, or him having one on you.
"You're too young."
"I'm a junior, Calum," I argued.
"You're still 16, Rach."
"I'm seventeen soon." I looked down, knowing the real reason was coming soon.
He sighed.
"But you're my best friend's little sister and I can't ignore that. We can't do this."
Finding your person at sixteen is not as exciting as it sounds, especially when you lose them at seventeen.
For Calum, even six years later, everyone is still inferior to the girl with the purple hair and the bold mouth. What he never expected is the truths that come out when their paths cross again...
