Rory Maybank has closed herself off. Not after what her father, Luke, did. He left her and her twin brother, JJ, to fend for themselves, and Rory's never been the same since. Guarded and sarcastic, she hides behind her tough exterior, pushing away anyone who dares to get too close. But the Pogues are her family, and she'd die for them. Even though she tells herself she's okay, she's anything but. With a past like hers, trusting anyone but the pouges seems impossible. But maybe, just maybe, the tides of fear are changing.
"the hardest part of getting clean are all the damn apologies
paying tolls on bridges that I've burnt
i've been afraid of growing up 'cause that would mean to sober up
but stoned and drunk don't mix with loving her
does that make me a quitter?"
Ivy Maybank is the sister pogue of the well-known JJ Maybank; they share the same best friends and, for the most part, the same life.
She starts to develop feelings for Rafe Cameron, who is her brother and her friends' enemy. Will Ivy and Rafe make it work? Or are their life styles too different?
