"Everyone has a heartbreak that changed them."
Hadley Park hates the universe for always being against her. Her life has never been easy since she was born. With her life planned out for her -- it's already falling apart but it isn't in entire shambles until she's told that her last resort of hope is being taken away from her.
If she isn't cursed, then she just has horrible luck.
Since childhood, learning that reality will always be harsh to her, she has chosen to never believe because by giving herself false hope, the inevitable always thinks otherwise.
In the midst of a dilemma, she meets Rhys Johansson, the cold, miserable but unattainable guy, whose reputation is falling apart by the strings that hold it together.
These two couldn't be any different yet the similarities they withhold of the baggage they carry with them every step of the way that haunts their every movement, brings them even closer than they could ever imagine.
For them, two teenagers that have never fallen in love, realize that when someone comes into your life unexpectedly, taking your heart on a whirlwind of surprises, changes the fate of your life forever.
And just like first love, it burns like wild fires.
Hadley Elliot's life is not where he expected it to be at seventeen. He feels like his friends no longer understand him, his parents' apathy is getting harder to ignore and his girlfriend, Elodie, just left him for their more popular classmate, Spencer.
As Hadley finds himself becoming more and more detached from the people around him, an incident at school lands him in trouble and leaves him in Spencer's bad books.
But as he tries to heal from his first heartbreak and find some deeper connection to a world that seems to be moving without him, Hadley decides to find love in the little things and, in the process, begins to form a bond he didn't expect with the boy who stole his girlfriend.
