Before the Clock Strikes 12: where the past meets the present

By Tia Louise Arif

Before the Clock Strikes 12 is a ya romance book

Once inseparable, six close friends-Isla, Mark, Ava, Callum, Mae, Luca-drifted apart ten years earlier after a terrible falling-out. Harsh words, hurt feelings, and long silence left everyone confused and carrying unresolved pain.

Years later, Isla and Mark's wedding gathers them all together again. Old tensions flare instantly; there is plenty of arguing and hard feelings as past mistakes surface. Slowly, Luca and Mae sit down to talk everything through, just as Ava and Callum finally speak honestly about what happened between them. Misunderstandings are revealed, secrets come out, and they begin to understand each other at last.

Through speeches, laughter, and familiar songs that bring back powerful memories, they rediscover how deeply they still care. What began as a celebration of one couple grows into a chance to heal broken bonds and find love and friendship all over again-proving honesty and second chances can mend even the deepest rifts.
