By her twentieth birthday, there are a few things Valarie Ricci knows for certain. She knows that her waitressing job barely covers the costs of living out of a beat up old van. She knows she's stuck in the dead end hometown her high school friends have all moved on from. She knows that, after spending her teenage years as his caretaker, her grandfather is gone. And she knows that it's her fault. She also knows that Alice Bell, an ex-girlfriend with a dark past and bad habits, broke her heart two years ago. When Alice barges back into Valarie's life and invites her on a cross-country road trip to chase the ghost of Alice's missing sister, Valarie doesn't know what to do - and she really doesn't know why she says yes. But before Valarie has any hope of figuring out why Alice is seeing ghosts, she must learn how to confront her own grief, including the turmoil that tore the two of them apart so long ago. ⭐️ FEATURED by @StoriesUndiscovered and @WattpadLitFic ⭐️
