Already dividing her time between school, work, her stepmother's endless demands, and her secret online identity, Taylor accepts to tutor one of her classmates in English -and regrets it. She has to tutor Josh Bradley, the quarterback. Girls worship him like a god and Taylor doesn't understand why. He's an arrogant jackass who plays them like a football defense.
Taylor's ready for football season to end so she can avoid him again, but the two form a surprising bond, trusting each other with their secrets. She finds a friend in someone she never saw coming.
There's something else she didn't see coming.
And it starts with L.

Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life.

Complicated. And somewhere along the way, we broke. Maybe we were too young. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe... we were just never meant to last. This is the story of how I fell for him.

READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)Complete
