It Was Always You
"I'm sorry that I put you in this situation." "I'm not following." I really wasn't. "This. Us! What we did last night was reckless and so so perfect at the same time." He got up and walked over to me. "All I could think about was the look on your face. I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about the feel of your skin against mine." He came closer and now he was a breath away. "What are you saying?" I whispered. "I don't know." "I thought you didn't do girlfriends." "I don't."

To the moon and back
When life is falling apart for 17-year-old Nigel, college rejections, family pressures, and a sister's mysterious illness, he has no idea that a chance meeting with the enigmatic Annika will challenge everything he thought he knew about love, destiny, and what it means to fight for those you cherish. But when his sister's diagnosis turns life upside down, and Annika reveals secrets of her own, Nigel must face a reality heavier than anything he imagined. As tragedy and miracles dance hand in hand, To the Moon and Back becomes a powerful journey of loss, healing, and the unexpected ways that people come into our lives at exactly the right moment. Heartfelt, humorous, and hauntingly relatable, this is a story about the deep pull of family, the sting of what we can't control, and the courage to believe in second chances, even when the odds are against us. For readers who love the emotional depth of Nicholas Sparks and the raw authenticity of John Green, this novel will stay with you long after the final page. ---To My Readers - A Letter from the Heart--- I wrote To the Moon and Back in memory of my young sister, who passed away from cancer in 2013. She was only 14, full of dreams, laughter, and a light that never dimmed, even in her final days. This story is my way of keeping her spirit alive, of reaching for the stars she never got to touch, and of giving voice to the love that still echoes in my heart. Today, I'm proud and emotional to say the novel is complete. Every chapter carries a piece of her. Every line is stitched with the hope, pain, and beauty of what it means to love deeply and lose too soon. I poured my soul into this book, and I hope you feel that in every word. Thank you for walking this journey with me. For reading, reacting, and believing in this story. It's more than fiction - it's a tribute. And now, it's yours. With love, Justin J. JonesComplete
