The past changes everything.
The present and future,
are gone
And those spades,
they won't stop,
digging our hearts away...
***********************
Alice Armstrong. Just moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Greenville, South Carolina. She had gotten a scholarship to the most prestigious school in the city, so she had to study hard whilst juggling jobs to provide for her and her Mum. She is kind, modest and a strong girl. And she thinks maybe this time she will be lucky.
Until him...
Jack Stone. The boy girls adore and fawn over. The cold, heartless being who crushes hopes and dreams. He's destined for a promising future. And of course he'll pursue it...
Won't he?
You see, you can't tell with Jack. He's unpredictable. He's a liar.
******************************
It all started with a driving test. Then an accident. Then pity. Then a 'lie'. Then regret.
This story isn't cliche. Alice doesn't speak back to him. Doesn't swoon over him.
Couldn't.
Wouldn't.
And Jack. He can't melt.
Shouldn't.
Wouldn't
Because if the 'can't' turned into a 'can'. And the 'shouldn't' turned into a 'should',
the spades would loom over them both...

Isla Jackson is your all-American girl - or at least she used to be. In her sophomore year of high school, she falls in love with a boy who has a dark monster within. Now, in her junior year, she is still trying to recover while figuring out if she can ever trust again - especially trust, and even potentially love, a boy who is just as broken as her. Clinton Rough is the boy you warn your children about. He comes from the 'perfect family' but people don't realize the darkness that swims around in the Rough household when it is empty.

(At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+Complete
