Since she was seven years old, Summer Hall has been in love with Wesley Fitzgerald after he vowed to protect her forever in his backyard. Twelve years later, when her feelings seem unreturned, she decides it's time to move on. With no direction or ideas on what path to take in her future, Summer dedicates time to figuring out who she is and what she wants from her life. In love with Wesley but tired of hopeless pining, she must remind herself that she and Wesley are friends. Two people who will always be just friends. 
      Wesley Fitzgerald is Reed State University's star pitcher on his way to breaking the record for most career season shutouts, something he's dreamed of since he first stepped out onto the field after a near-death experience. Pressures on to not let his team down; he lacks time to deal with his father's newfound drive for reconciliation or his heart's longing to finally call Summer his. He doesn't anticipate meddling mothers, heart-stopping kisses, late-night drives, and cooking disasters. 
    When lines begin blurring, he has to decide if love fits in his plans and where his priorities lie, especially when he's not the only suitor fighting for Summer's attention.

In the third book following "What Happened" - Now knowing the truth about Lila and Hunter's relationship, Zooey finds herself feeling as though all of Borne has moved well past Michael's death, leaving her behind to get through her own trauma from that terrible night, alone. She soon finds herself running away from the terrible memories left behind in Borne to attempt an escape once in for all. Whether that be to Chicago or elsewhere, Zooey isn't sure, but she knows no matter where it is, it may be best to take her painful past with her and continue to keep it a secret from those it impacts the most.
