Between Us and the Dying Stars

WE ARE STARS | Draft Two

After the tragic car accident that killed her twin sister, Rowen Crompton has never felt more alone. Kimberly was her rock, her world, and her universe all compiled into one. Whether it was sneaking into concerts, driving up and down the west coast, or slipping out of the house to watch the planes fly in, Kimmy always found a way to recruit Rowen into her infinite track record of extraordinary adventures. Those late-night escapades came to a devastating conclusion the day Kimmy came to hers, leaving Rowen to pick up the pieces.

A year trudges by, and Rowen falls back into the life Silas Wells, a roguish guitarist who performs frequently at a local coffee house, and Kimmy's high school sweetheart. Rowen doesn't know what to expect when she and Silas are assigned as astronomy partners, or when she discovers a hidden bucket list tucked in the corner of a picture frame. The catch? The list was written by Kimberly three days before her death.

Whilst Silas believes in the idea of completing the list in honor of Kimmy's memory, Rowen isn't as open-minded to the idea. It isn't until she receives one final push that she finds herself reliving the insane crusades that Kimmy had lived for. As relationships are tested, pasts intertwine, and secrets are revealed, Rowen begins to question how much she truly knew her sister, even as she feels herself falling for a heart that was never hers to take.
