Emerson is looking for something new. She always gives in at the wrong times and always gives up at the right ones. Emerson has to face her nightmare over and over again: pain, abuse, the letter, and Trevor. But with her best friends, Brett and Hunter, by her side, nothing could go wrong. Until it does. Can Emerson really get back the things she lost? Or will things get worse and have Emerson six feet under?
“When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you must think of a reason to start over.”
“Love changes people. It makes them do things they never would have done before.”
“Even if he doesn't like me tomorrow, I knew he loved me yesterday.”
“You’re the only thing keeping me alive.”
