We do not get to choose in this life who are family will be. But, we do get to choose our best friends, our second family, and our true love...
But what if that love becomes your family?
Alger Kennington, long-time tennis player and best friend to Esther Pennyworth, must come to a quick and spiteful decision - whether to move in with his mother in New York, or remain in his home in the UK. Making a rational, quick decision, he leaves Esther and his life behind to join his mother. 
Rebellious, fitful, and depressed by age fifteen, a girl enters his life that goes by the name of 'E'. She seems familiar at first, and, after several days of secretive hand holding, he begins to recognize that baggy pink sweater tossed over her frame...
In this stunning gut-wrenching romance-drama,  lessons are learned: Life is about the choices we make, and the chances we take.

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.
