5 parti In corso senior year. new year's eve. one last night to take a chance and change everything.
stella has been waiting for the neighborhood's biggest new year's eve party since freshman year. now at that infamous party, everything's going great...until it isn't.
the boy stella has a crush on turns out to be a bad kisser, her best friend throws beer on her, and stella's childhood best friend turned stranger punches said bad kisser in the face. all in that order.
leaving the party with her ex-best friend, stella is pleasantly surprised at how easy it is reconnecting with blake. he's grown up in all the ways she hasn't, and still smiles at her the way he did when they were fifteen.
running around their hometown together throughout the night, stella and blake make up for lost time, and finally say all that's been left unsaid.
but now that she has blake back, stella's worried that they'll go back to being strangers when the sun rises and the new year settles. she lost him once before, she doesn't want to lose him again.
