Alyson Gray was fourteen years old when her life was turned upside down by the discovery of a brain tumour. Four years on and she's still keeping up her fight, but she's become reserved and distant to all but a few. Until one summer, a boy arrives in town. He's persistent and somewhat annoying yet Alyson is drawn to him, but she's in no position to get involved with someone when she doesn't know how long she'll be around. That, however, didn't stop him from trying.
Finding your person at sixteen is not as exciting as it sounds, especially when you lose them at seventeen.
For Calum, even six years later, everyone is still inferior to the girl with the purple hair and the bold mouth. What he never expected is the truths that come out when their paths cross again...
