Evelyn and Madison are inseparable best friends. From the outside, they laugh, share inside jokes, and seem like any other pair of teenage girls. But when the phone call connects at night, a different truth spills out.
Behind the jokes and late-night talks are broken pieces-depression, self-doubt, and the weight of a world that feels too heavy to carry. They don't show it at school. They don't talk about it with anyone else. It's only during those calls-when the world is quiet-that they let the darkness out.
In a world that doesn't seem to understand them, Evelyn and Madison cling to each other, building a fragile space where it's okay to be broken. Because sometimes, the only thing keeping you together... is knowing you're not alone in your shattered world.

The Streets
They were trouble. You could just tell by looking at them. They didn't talk to anybody, besides others in the group and people in our school spread stories about them all the time. They were intriguing and we all wanted to be apart of them. But of course, they weren't exactly open to letting others in. Overtime peoples wanting to be apart of them lessened or went away all together. But mine never did and I knew exactly why. It was her. The way she held herself and the mystery of what not only they held but what she held to. I figured it would just be an infatuation from afar. But oh how I was wrong.Complete

They were inseparable until the day he spoke the words that changed everything. In a single heartbeat, silence replaced their history, and the line between "us" and "strangers" was drawn in the sand. Years have passed. They've built different lives and loved different people. but when fate forces them back into the same orbit, the gravity of the past is impossible to ignore. Old feelings resurface alongside guilt, temptation, and the dangerous pull toward a boundary that was never meant to be crossed. Because sometimes, the people we spend a lifetime running from... are the very ones we've been running toward all along. But what happens when the love you finally claim becomes the very thing that divides you forever?

Dear Scott
"Growing up around fairytales, Disney princesses and teen films, we are raised to believe that happy endings are always in store for us. But more often than not, reality sinks in, and the happy ending doesn't occur. Especially in high school. The main reason I liked this book so much was because it was so real. It was a love that was destined to crumble from the start, and yet, you kept pushing your luck. We've all been there. The late night texts from your crush waking you up to talk about nothing, the unexpected butterflies when you see him, the gross flaws he possess that you don't seem to notice, or the small things he does that turn you on. Most importantly, we learn that love truly is blind. We're unobservant to the world around us when our teenage love obsession is staring down at us with those big, brown, adorable eyes of theirs. And then when we wake up from this dream-like state that is a first love, we realize that he's not this perfect, older, mature man... but this boy."Complete
