Synopsis: 
The regret hits her only after 17-year-old Ivy realizes that she's falling for him again, though she knew that he used to love her when she didn't feel the same way. While Ivy was feeling a bit hopeless after she changed schools, moved to the city and cut ties with everyone, several odd and unintended incidents that would make Malcolm appear into her life again kept occuring, again and again.

Later in the book: After meeting each other again at age 19, it's clear that things aren't the same as before. No more school-drama, gossiping and immature choices as they take a step closer to adulthood. Now realizing that their lives ended up in different paths, their love is supposed to be fought for as they continue facing the difficulties and potentially life-threatening dangers of the world.

...

The wound from an arrow shot is painful. But what makes Cupid's any more different? 
It all eventually leads to something even more painful than a wound.
We can't forget about jealousy, obsession, rejection and so on.

How can someone want to avoid falling in love, but fail to dodge the arrow? Even worse, when two people don't get shot at the same time, not leaving the feelings mutual and balanced. I'm impatient, we can't wait for one another each something year. 

I've been shot multiple times now, switching my attention from person to person. However the affect of the same wound still comes and goes after several years, making it hard for you to get out of my head. I dislike it. But I guess I just need to forget all about it.

Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever!

Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?

"I know it's complicated, but I can't ignore these feelings any longer. I want you to know how I feel-not just as a friend, but as something more." I felt my heart race. I could barely grasp the pain and joy in Hazel's eyes.

*Destined to Be series book one. Not necessary to read Book one before book two.* Achievements: #1 in Lesbianromance [August 14th, 2019] #4 in Lesbian [September 30th, 2019] #5 in GirlxGirl [August 26, 2019] Avery has had a tough life, a very tough life. She feels like the universe is forever against her. And never thought that, even after everything she's endured, she would ever get her 'Happily Ever After'. Then one day she thinks it may be possible. The woman she had been in love with for years, finally returns her feelings. Avery was finally happy, the woman she loved so much for so long, finally loved her back. Her 'Happily Ever After' was within reach. At least that's what she thought, until the woman managed to shatter Avery's already broken heart into a million pieces. Months later, the wound still fresh, she packs up her stuff and moves back to the city where she was born. She thinks being in a different city and reconnecting with her childhood best friend, will help her heal. But, nothing seems to change at all. At least not until one night about 2 months later. Her friend drags her to a club. To get her friend off her back, she finds a girl to pick up. She expected for it to be a one night stand and that was it but she desperately wants to see the woman again. And she ends up getting her wish but the next time they see each other it's in one of the most unexpected of situations. Just when she was starting to think that she might be able to be happy again, it all goes to crap. Her life seems to be a never ending string of heart break. Maybe the whole universe really is against her. Warning: This story's going to get a bit dark/depressing. And even though it's clearly labeled as such but I still feel I need to say this is a mature girlxgirl story so there will be sex. Also don't read if you have a problem w/ the word fuck because I use it quite liberally.
