Two years ago, Lila and Eli shared a brief, electrifying connection on holiday-eye contact, flirty banter, even a goodbye kiss, and the kind of tension you only feel in a summer romance. But when they parted ways, neither of them expected to see each other again-until Lila transfers to a new school and finds herself face-to-face with Eli on her first day.
As Lila navigates her new life, she quickly becomes close with Aria, her confident, outgoing new friend. Meanwhile, Eli is stuck in his own tangled mess-his best friend, Harry, has had his eyes on Lila since the moment he saw her. Eli knew that Harry, with his assertive nature and the way he always got what he wanted, would never allow him to pursue Lila, so he stepped back, suppressing his feelings to avoid a confrontation he knew he'd lose. However, as Harry gets closer to Lila, Eli can't help but watch, consumed by jealousy and frustration.
As their lives continue to collide at parties and school events, the simmering tension between Lila and Eli can't be ignored. They both start to play a dangerous game of jealousy. Eli gets closer to Lila's new found friend, Aria, whilst Lila continues to get closer to Eli's best friend, Harry.
With emotions running high and feelings left unsaid, Lila must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a chance with Eli. But in a world where loyalties are tested, the jealousy game might just break them all.
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong.
Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need.
Still.
New chances are for new beginnings, right?
Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life.
Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
