When You're Just The Best Friend | a romance story

Yasmin is just a normal teenager who wants nothing more than to just fit in.
All her life she works on this persona she's built for when she's in school.
She tells small lies to make herself sound more interesting. Because even if the world would consider her evil for doing that, she knows that as long as she lies with good intentions, it wouldn't be considered wrong.

After a living a life filled with lies, Yasmin is more than thrilled to move back to her hometown and have a fresh clean start. Only the summer remains, and after that, she'll forever leave this hell of a life behind.

But things get complicated when her bestfriend gets diagnosed with cancer and is given just half a year to live. And his last wish is for her to spend the entire summer helping him complete his secret bucket list.

Her first love is about to die in six months and she only gets to be with him for this summer. Will she find it in herself to confess how she really feels? Or will it be too late by the time she gathers enough courage?
