Arden Gray: A catty, beautiful, endlessly underestimated teenage girl drowning in a crippling tidal wave of depression. She spends more time in the realm of books than reality, and struggles to keep her head above water as her world seemingly comes crashing down around her. 

Lucas Riverton: The seventeen year old boy in the awkward stage between child and adulthood, who works at a local bookstore as a means of escape. He barely knows Arden, but is positive that there is something about her, something he wants to devote the rest of his life to figuring out.

Two worlds connect in an unfathomable force as young lovers relish in the discovery of a feeling that is beyond description--- and do everything in their power to prevent the inevitable destruction of it.

                                         
                                               ~~ REVIEWS ~~

"A poignant story about the deterioration of love between two young teenagers that don't know anything but how to fall." 

"...flawless, simple, and very imaginative."

"This is a wonderful, angsty story...read in one sitting!" 

"Arden Gray is a unique and quirky character that I found myself growing attached to right away...This author manages to pack more emotion in one sentence of dialogue than most people can in a whole paragraph of metaphorical description."All Rights Reserved
