Gia North knows that good things come to those who wait. But she’s waited long enough when the boy she fell for dies in a car crash in a rain storm; a death that turns out to be a suicide. When letters left behind by the boy of her dreams begin appearing, leading her on a scavenger hunt for his last favor, she has to become patient fast—especially when the hunt is designed to include his holier-than-thou older brother.

By the end of it all, Gia might finally understand why some things are worth waiting for.All Rights Reserved

Until the new girl, Jules; who also happens to be her next door neighbor, enters her life. Jules, also a 17 year old senior, has demons of her own to fight. With no mother in the picture, a suspiciously angsty college brother, and an abusive father who can't keep his anger in check, she carries a little secret of her own that could either make or break Iyana's traumatic grief. What will these two find waiting at the end of their journey; one happy ending... or an ending for one?
