Felicity Collins has loved Julian Beckett since she was six years old. It was inevitable - he was the boy next door, her brother's best friend, and the first person to ever make her heart race.
She fell for him on a Friday afternoon. By Saturday night, she knew he would never feel the same.
Now they're in college, and the lines between friendship and something more are harder to ignore. For the first time in their lives, Felicity and Julian have to face the one thing they've both avoided: what happens when friends stop ignoring the feeling that there is something more?

I'm falling for the one person I shouldn't... and it's a problem. --- Dylan James and I have been best friends since dinosaurs roamed Earth. We've done everything together, from kissing on the playground to accidentally becoming each other's firsts... and collecting a very long list of "wow, we're idiots" moments along the way. How has our friendship worked this well, for this long? Years ago, we made a pact: no dating, no feelings, no ruining what we have. And that was fine. Easy, even. Until now. The only problem?
