how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack.

This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman.

Two teenagers collide in this dual-perspective story that spans the eventful summer of 2016. Romance, friendship, and the battle against childhood wounds leave their mark in this tale of human connection and the forging of identity.

In the summer of 2016, two teens come together in an explosive love affair that alters the course of their lives. When Billie and Joe meet at his summer party, something in the atmosphere shifts. Under the hot sun in their seaside town, they spend the next two weeks in bliss, holding on to what most people never touch in a lifetime. But when Joe is faced with an impossible choice, they may discover there is a darkness to love they never dreamed of. Told from alternating perspectives, the story of their love affair explores the complexities of love, life, and the moment we come of age, the world forever changed by the loss of innocence. They say there are two sides to every story. Who says both of them can't be true?Complete
