"This life will be good and beautiful, but not without heartbreak. In death comes peace, but pain is the cost of living. Like love, it's how we know we are alive." --- It all started during later summer of 2014, when Mady was 19 and beginning her sophomore year of college. She had many plans this year: to get good grades, focus on her studies, and make it epic. She's a shy, jealous, and awkward girl who came from a dark background. She was never perfect, but in the deepest parts of her mind she considered herself perfectly imperfect. During a night, when she was convinced by a friend to join her at a party she meets a boy. Not that cliche hot boy, the mysterious bad boy, nor like any other guy she had ever met. She was terrified-- not only by her insecurities, but also by her previous heartbreak. He was a guy with deep blue eyes, a kind personality, and said things that drew her in. Can she open up? Or will she be too slow before things come crashing down-- before she does? Mady's trust is tested against sacrifices, lies, and betrayals in this story of heartbreak and love. Slightly mature: medium language with no explicit sexual content besides kissing and/or making out. It never goes further than that.
