After August

Falling out of love with someone is one thing.

Falling out of love with something you had once considered your passion is another entity in itself.

People always say that when you're 18 your life has just started, and you have the world in your hands. But what if you don't want it?

Aspyn has never taken her family's status for granted, in actuality, it's the part of her she has distanced herself from the most. What everyone dreams to be and longs to obtain is the one thing she resents though she's basked in it.

Going through the tides of her final year in high school, living in southern Canada with her twin brother who's attached to her and loves her more than himself only due to his sense of guilt and responsibility. Aspyn finally sees the boy she's known for all her life who is nothing like her but for some reason is the only one who truly understands her.
Relationship's pile and topple while she doesn't know what to do with the future that seems so promising to everyone else but her: the path she's taken is one she had grown to hate.

But when her twin brother who has been her line of support ever since he came back, pushes her past the boundaries she has set in stone, she feels everything crashing down when truths she didn't know existed are revealed.

The results of her life choices dawn over her until she has no choice but face them before the situations she has conjured in her mind becomes reality.

How can someone who doesn't even love themselves fall back in love with their talent, let alone love someone else?
