❝Among life's greatest treasures are the grandeurs of young love and heartbreak; young philosophy and boundless desire. You're only young once, but if you do it right, once is enough.❞ 18-year-old Evangeline Channing is a good kid with a good life - great family and friends, maybe not-so-great grades, but she's happy, and that's what matters most. For the past few months, she's kept something a secret. Or rather, someone. Unknown to her family and even her closest mates, Evangeline is in love. He's older. Richer. Most importantly, he's her secret soulmate. But when a lovers' trip takes an unexpected turn, and everything is forced into the light, Evangeline has a choice to make. Will she take his hand, and step into the identity of a new woman, or will the pull of the teenage dream and the world she knows - sleepovers and silly crushes and stupid fun - prove the best world of all?
