Senior year was supposed to be a breeze. That was what Grace Wilson told herself, at least. Then she caught the eyes of two boys, and everything spiraled out of control.
Finally, after years of crushing on Joshua King, he asked her out. No, that's a lie. All he did was ask for help in math class. But that was more than Grace had ever spoken to him, so she took it. After a few study sessions, they got closer and closer. Grace couldn't be happier. Then Drew Walker entered her life. He was mysterious and hot. Grace didn't know who to choose - the soft spoken and kind Joshua or the stoic and chiseled Drew. These boys threw Grace's life for a loop, and it almost ruined her relationship with her best friend. The cherry on top was her brother showing up out of nowhere.
Grace Wilson wanted everything to go back to normal. But life doesn't happen that way.
