It all started with a pen and a hot pink sticky note...

Corrin Brier has her final year of high school set in stone. No distractions, just tests, studying more studying and college applications. She's always been serious, focused, driven and at the top of her class, she knows that she's destined to end up at her dream school, Stanford. But things start spiraling out of control when Corrin's best friend, Katherine, decides to leave a love note in her soulmate's locker. The situation takes an unexpected turn and Corrin, despite the constant pressure of her mother, ends up going down a path she never thought she'd be headed. 

Now, fast-forward almost 2 years later, after packing her things and running away without saying a word to anyone, Corrin's finally back in her hometown, Buront. The people she used to know are curious and want to know what exactly happened the night she left, but most importantly, why it's taken her so long to come back. The longer Corrin stays in town, the more the secrets of the past come back to haunt her and she realizes that she doesn't fully understand what happened either. Only 2 people know what really went down the night Corrin took off, and her lips are sealed.

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...
