Adriana Perry, a sixteen-year-old student, copes with the grief of suddenly losing her best friend by falling in deeper with two equally troubled boys.
--
Sixteen-year-old Adriana Perry is, by all accounts, a normal girl - she has straight As, an average social life, and a supportive, middle-class family. After her best friend tragically passes away the summer before her junior year, though, it all fades into grey faster than she can breathe.
But what happens when yet another whirlwind enters her life - this time, the unending persistence of her longtime rival, James Lancaster, and his remarkably sweet best friend, Eli Spring? Their support (or in James's case, their annoying distraction) slowly helps her get back on her feet, even if it's as a person she never imagined she could be. Not everything is as it seems, though: both boys are hiding a dark secret of their own, and the closer Ana gets to each of them, the more she's afraid she's run into something deeper than she can handle.
At a time like this, Ana needs a life raft more than anything. She just never considered that her life rafts might be drowning too.

And when Nico inevitably breaks her heart, it's Adrian who's there to pick up the pieces. That's when everything changes. Celeste starts noticing the way Adrian looks at her-the way he always has. The tension in their stolen glances, the hesitation in his touches, the moments where they almost kiss, but don't. Because Adrian won't cross that line. Not when she still sees him as just a friend. Not when she might still love someone else. Not when he's terrified of losing her. But feelings don't stay buried forever. And when jealousy, heartbreak, and longing push them closer than ever, Celeste and Adrian are left with only two choices: risk everything... or lose each other forever.
