---

Eloise James is determined to have the perfect senior year. It's simple, really. Choose a college, find the nerve to make out in the senior hall, and hopefully, with a little help from sweet baby Jesus himself, fill out an A cup bra. You know, check off all the boxes.

With her daydream of a long term boyfriend, Will, by her side, it should be a breeze. But when West Point comes calling, the realities of life after high school start to rear their ugly head. Her romanticized version of life goes from rom-com to TV drama in the time it takes to color code her closet and it has her wondering. Young love - Is it the best way to fall or the cruelest?

In the span of their senior year, Elle discovers more about herself than she thought possible. Most importantly? That she doesn't need to be everyone's perfect version of Eloise James. She just needs to be her version. She may not need Will like she once thought she did, but does she want him? And at what cost?

William Rhodes - the confident, ambitious, heartthrob has Wembley High School in the palm of his football gloved hand, much like a certain emerald eyed brunette has him in hers. Difference being, this place in his hand? It's the last thing he wants.

In his desperation to get everything he ever wanted, he realizes that he may have lost the one person he ever wanted. He wants to go to West Point, but he wants Elle. He wants to get out of this provincial town, but he wants Elle. He wants something different for his life, but he wants Elle.

He overthinks, she romanticizes. He sees the bad, she sees the good. He overcomplicates, she oversimplifies. They agreed not to make decisions out of fear, but what if it's his decisions that break them for good?
