After a string of failed relationships, college senior Oakland Fuller goes to a therapist and a psychic for help. She's stunned when both women tell her the same thing--she's got unresolved feelings for her high school boyfriend, Seth. Problem: Seth hasn't talked to her since she dumped him on prom night and he's not responding to any of her online messages.
Desperate to rescue Oakland from a pathetic holiday break of sitting in front of the computer, her best friend, Morgan, books the two of them on a guided excursion of Thailand. Morgan isn't sure if Seth is the key to everything or not, but either way destiny can wait two weeks.
When the girls meet a pair of American soldiers named Tyson and Jed in Bangkok, one thing leads to another and Oakland finds herself having a hot holiday fling. Just what she needs to stop obsessing about the past. But right when Oakland gets cozy with Tyson, she sees a familiar head of blond hair across a crowded temple complex--it's Seth! Somehow her high school boyfriend is in Thailand too. If that's not a sign then what is?
When Oakland breaks away from the tour group to look for Seth, Morgan and the boys insist on coming along. What follows is a whirlwind chase across the country. But as the group grows closer in proximity to Seth, Oakland is growing closer emotionally to Tyson. Is she really following her destiny? Or is she running away from it?
Filled with romance, bromance, friendship, and gorgeous faraway settings, THE KEY TO EVERYTHING is a story for anyone who's ever dreamed of finding love when they were least expecting it.

Holding Back [COMPLETED]
"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here.
