But Amanda was never known to be right, and at least not in relationships, so when Theo Anderson came spluttering into her life she literally couldn't be more wrong about love - because while it can hurt like a devil, it can also give her the old-school butterflies with sprinkles on top. They won't know what hit them. Literally.

Sonder: n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk. HE is a boy brought up an raised to be a southern gentleman. A boy who is confident, social, and yet never too involved. He's a hard worker and he's set up the foundations of what is to be a good life, thanks to his parents' strict regime – 'there is a time for everything and this is not a time for relationships' – which has, so far, worked. But there is still a part of him somewhere that wonders what would happen if he stepped to the other side, where life isn't so completely set out for him. But instead he's thrown headfirst into it and everything changes overnight. SHE is a girl defined by her family – traditional, southern, and introverted. And so far, life has set her out on a good path – she's content with being an indoors girl, reserved, quiet, studious. But in this new world, where inhibitions are let loose and set free to reign, she finds herself crumbling as she is torn between everything she has been brought up with and that small, repressed part of her that is unleashed one night. And one night changes everything. Sonder: Everyone has a story. This is theirs.
