For the past three years, Yesmi has dreamt of only one thing; moving to New York to live with her mother. Surprisingly, an engagement, a phone call, and a father pushed out of the way is all it takes for that dream to come to life.
Great, right? Not really. The angel in charge of ensuring her smooth stay in New York is doing a wonderfully bad job. From having to deal with a 'from-the-onset' strained relationship with her stepbrother to getting into a face-off with a bouncer 4 times her size, to publicly embarrassing herself in the school café, to falling out with all the wrong people . . . the list of chaotic situations never end.
When these happenings move from partly amusing to horrifying, Yesmi is about to acknowledge the hardest way, that from within dreams, emerge nightmares.

But as soon as she arrives in Portland, thousands of miles away from her safety net, she's caught off guard by Archer, her new housemate.

Over time and amidst the various little white lies and destructive mistakes, they continue to hide their feelings.

Faced with situations she could only dream of and challenges she thought she'd never overcome; she has to hold herself together while her world crumbles around her. Will Madison throw caution to the wind and risk losing everything for someone who wouldn't do the same for her?Complete
