James loves Betty.

He's been certain of that ever since he saw her for the first time. He knows he's in love when she smiles at him, when he holds her under the moonlit sky and when he gives her his cardigan. Betty is perfect for him.

Until, one summer, he meets Augustine and all of his certainties are destroyed. Augustine is nothing like Betty; she's lively, radiant and desperately wants to be loved. James can't help but feel a strong connection to her, even if he's still with Betty. 

Once Augustine becomes a hazy, summer memory, James will have to make an important choice that will determine his future with Betty. Nothing is certain anymore, even their hopes have become fragile and delicate.

Will young, teenage love win over a passionate, summer adventure?

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel. This novel is a criss-cross between them and will include some major spoilers!* Leo Sangster has a bucket list tucked away safely, folded between the pages of his favourite book. And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways? Will they give up on the chemistry or will they find a way to make it work?

He doesn't care for the summer vacation his stepmother and father dragged him into. He's still healing from a heartbreak he keeps secret, not looking for anyone new. So what happens when Augustine and James meet? Though both painfully awkward, they manage to make a connection that brings out the their fun sides and flirty personalities. But what about when August is over? Is their bond strong enough to hold them together, or will they be forced to let each other go? Inspired by Taylor Swift's song, August All quotes at the beginning of each chapter are lyrics from the song
