Ava Roberts is a broken girl. She's the girl that fakes a smile everyday, not that you'll ever notice. She's a little too closed-off, a little too hard on herself, and a little too terrified of letting people come into her life and actually meaning something. For years she's believed she could never be anything but a burden to anyone, because who would want a girl that's so broken? She comes from a family torn apart, a family that isn't really a family, and she doesn't know how to love and how to let others love her. Chris Warren is an expert. An expert at remembering things he wants to forget, at making people think he's fine, alright, okay, at having to be that older, protective brother that raises his siblings. He's a little too good at pretending, at telling himself that everything's fine, nothing's wrong. He's never been able to see the good in things unless he's pretending. He comes from a family full of lies, parents incapable of making time for their kids. When he stumbles across a bounded journal, he rushes to find the owner and give it back, hoping to forget he ever read such a thing, but he himself wants to be the one to stick around, despite everything in his mind telling him to run, and answer that very question: Who would want a girl so broken? A story about finding yourself, falling in love, and allowing yourself to open up and trust.
