The Improbability of Forever (Kismet #2) ✓
Don't you miss Providence Prep and all of the quirky drama that takes place inside its doors? The confusing love rectangles, the dress code infractions Quinn can never seem to escape, and the lousiest football team in all of high school history? Quinn's about to miss it all, too-in only thirty days. Six months later, Quinn is navigating through the last month of her sophomore year of high school. But that's not all she has to deal with: as her impending move over a thousand miles away is on the horizon, Quinn can't help but face the harsh reality. She still hasn't told her boyfriend of exactly six months that she's leaving. And if that isn't a cause for the most catastrophic yet comedically Quinn-like disaster, she doesn't know what is. {Cover by @graphicqueen-}Complete
