❝THE STARS DIDN'T CHANGE, BUT YOU DID.❞
The stars reminded Athena of many things: the way her sister's eyes used to sparkle in the moonlight, the soft glow of street lamps that she would pass on the way home from school, the soothingness of lavender candles her mother lit every morning. The stars reminded her of how things used to be. Athena had been through hell and back ever since her parents divorced, and although much had changed in her teenage years, the constellations didn't. At least, that's what her mother told her before the world changed too.
That was until she met Glenn Rhee, a Korean boy with a blooming curiosity and a knack for annoying the brunette girl, and suddenly the imperfect world they were trapped in became slightly more perfect.
But things change.
