If you asked Bex what her biggest fear is, she would say itās being alone. But she hasnāt had to worry about that a day in her life. Sheās always had her best friend, Nate, to protect her. He is her knight in shining armor, her security blanket. He makes her feel safe. Of course, sheās in love with him. How could she not be? Enter Carter Sullivanāthe boy who is everything Bex is not. Heās outgoing, confident, fearlessā¦and to Bexās surprise, completely in love with her. The worst part is, Bex starts to feel something for him, too. But along with her many other fears, she is also afraid of change. Sheās loved Nate her whole life, and thatās not something she can let go of easily. And then, Bexās worst nightmare becomes a reality when Nate slips into a coma, due to a brain tumor. No one saw it coming. Not Nate, and especially not Bex. Completely thrown and utterly lost, Bex crawls into the far recesses of her mind, fearing the worstāNate is going to die. Anxiety shakes her to her core. She canāt go a single day without having a panic attack, and she canāt tell which is worseālosing him, or losing herself. And who is there to save her? You guessed itāCarter. But Bex isnāt sure she can trust him. She isnāt sure she can trust anyone. Sheās already lost her mind. Is she really ready to offer up her heart? Carter can give her things sheās never had before, things sheās never felt before, but she canāt help but feel sheāll be betraying her best friend if she opens her heart to someone else, and gives herself the room to love and grow that she never had with Nate. Maybe what she thought was the best part of her was perhaps the worst.
