Memento Vivere:

A Latin phrase meaning "Remember to live"

❋❋❋

Ali has never had a life worth living.  For the past 18 years, it's been so dark that she can't distinguish between nightmares and reality.  Until she meets Caleb.

Living is something Caleb hasn't done properly since he was young.  He's been living a seemingly charmed life- with no shortage of drugs, girls, partying, and cars- but he's never truly felt alive. Not until Ali. 

Ali and Caleb couldn't have lived more different lives. She's been to hell and back, witnessing unspeakable horrors during the first 6 years of her life and bouncing around the foster system until the age of 18.  He, on the other hand, has lived a life of luxury.  Blessed with good looks, money, and charisma, he's had everything handed to him on a silver platter.

Neither of them, however, have a place they can truly call home.
