One mistake could cost her someone else's soul. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "They say the heart is just an organ, a muscle the size of your fist, playing it's part in the symphony that keeps life going. What they don't tell you is that the drum beating inside your chest houses inside it the very strings that tie your soul down to your body, strings that extend out from your soul and loop themselves around all the people, all the objects, all the memories and actions that sing to the same beat as your heart, the only things keeping your soul from drifting away into the night sky." On the outside, Leah looks like any normal teenage girl, slowly suffocating as she is under the weight of studies, diet plans and period mood swings. But underneath the straightened hair and layers of makeup is a girl cradling a secret that threatens to destroy everything she has ever worked for. She can see heartstrings. And she's not the only one. Someone out there is cutting people's heartstrings at random, setting their souls loose and leaving behind an empty husk of a body. Follow Leah as she sets out to confront this certain someone, and in the process comes to the realization that dabbling with people's hearts, and their souls, for that matter, comes with a price she might not be able to pay just yet.

Leah and Alex have been best friends forever, which is super convenient-except they're both completely oblivious to the fact that they're in love with each other. Clearly, they should be together, but hey, why make things easy? Instead, they spend years dancing around their feelings like it's a complicated game of "who can mess up their life more." And honestly, if they just talked to each other once or twice, this whole mess would've been over in...* drum roll * ...* drum roll intensifies * ...a chapter ! But nope, they'd rather be dramatic, make bad decisions, and send a million texts that never get answered. Will they finally stop being idiots and admit their feelings? Maybe. But don't hold your breath! These two somehow always miss their shot, even though it's written in neon lights . From accidental pregnancies to missing flights, life seems to go out of its way to throw obstacles in their path. They text, they don't text, they live in different countries, they don't live in different countries, and they make every bad decision possible-except the one that actually fixes everything. Will they figure it out, or will they keep being ridiculously stubborn for the next decade? A hilariously ( I hope) messy love story about the "right person, wrong time," or maybe just the "wrong people, right awful timing." °•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°••°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
