[ WARNING: REWRITE OF THE ACADEMY ]

Six years ago, Angelina Ricci lost the love of her life, and she still doesn't know if she'll ever forgive him for it.

Since their devastating breakup, Angelina has avoided being alone with Cal Montgomery at all costs. It isn't exactly difficult when they've both perfected the art of pretending. Pretending they're over each other. Pretending their history doesn't still linger in every glance across a crowded room. Pretending their breakup didn't leave scars neither of them ever truly healed from.

Now living in New York City's fast-paced social scene, Angelina has worked hard to move forward. But when two of their closest friends get engaged, the carefully maintained distance between her and Cal suddenly disappears. Wedding celebrations, weekend trips, and endless late-night gatherings force them back into each other's lives, and back into feelings they thought they buried years ago.

To everyone else, Cal Montgomery is charming, untouchable, and effortlessly adored. To Angelina, he's the boy who broke her heart without ever fully explaining why.

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension still simmering between them. And when old memories begin resurfacing alongside unanswered questions, Angelina starts to wonder if their breakup was never as simple as she believed.
