'And I knew then, with an earth-shattering certainty, that everything I'd worked for, strived for, suffered for, had just turned to dust. My life as I knew it, scattered along the pavement with shards of windscreen and the contents of my stomach.'

As the ruling queen of her elite private school, Annabel Sinclair has the brains and ruthlessness to go far. But an unexpected pregnancy and an 'incident' with a golf club and her ex-boyfriend's car leaves her expelled and disowned by her friends. Suddenly she's shipped off to the wrong side of town and forced to live with her estranged dad. If that isn't enough drama to deal with, his eccentric neighbours, the Grady's come into her life. Annabel doesn't need their unique blend of chaos as she's desperately trying to cling onto her old life. And she definitely doesn't need the spark that's growing between her and Connor Grady...

Songs and Memories (gxg) by Euphoria521610

"Who said memories are only captured in photographs? Some special songs do that too." ~Neha Joshi "Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it." ~Stevie Wonder "A song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place or even a person. That one song stays the same, just like that moment." ~Sarah Dessen "Each memory has a soundtrack of its own." ~Unknown Demi and Bella, once college rivals, have shared a passionate, transformative love for three years. Their relationship blossomed from fierce enemies into inseparable lovers who weathered the storms of college life. But after graduating, Bella begins to feel a shift. The fire between them feels distant, replaced by an undercurrent of tension as their lives drift in separate directions-Demi's demanding career as an architect and Bella's focus on building her dream rehab center. Each song their stories shared now reminds of the bittersweet memories of love, pain, and longing. As their love hangs in the balance, they both reflect on whether they can rekindle what they once had or if the echoes of their past are all that remain. Playing the song from the title adds an additional vibe while reading each chapters too. ☺️
