Love YA Mean It

By Kaitlyn Dryden

One year after losing her twin sister, Esmeray Poverly is surviving, not healing. A nurse and the guardian of her grieving fifteen-year-old niece, Esmeray keeps her world carefully controlled, burying her pain under long shifts and a casual fling with a guy named Landon. He begins to want something more, but love feels like a risk she can't afford.

Then she meets Beau.

Their connection and the events that follow force Esmeray to confront the belief that happiness is something she forfeited the day her sister died. As old wounds resurface and buried grief collides with the possibility of new love, Esmeray must decide whether healing means staying safe in the past or daring to live again.
