Lily Ashford is the type of girl everyone envies. She's already got everything someone could ever ask for: the perfect family, the flawless grades, the money to afford the future already written for her. Despite that, there's something she couldn't have seen coming. Really, falling in love was never part of the plan. Falling in love with her was the mistake that destroyed and healed her all at once. It could destroy everything, but it would allow her to look at herself in a different way, a way she couldn't see before. Valerie Mercer is quite the opposite. She's unapologetic in her own way, from the wrong side of town, yet impossible to ignore. These two collide, and what seems to begin as resentment shapes into something neither of them expected. The closer they grow, the harder it is to tell whether what they're building is worth the risk of being seen. What comes next is everything but polished. Everything that complicated relations, crossed boundaries, and mistakes that can't be erased could define. But it's also the love that asks you to be honest before you know if you can do that. But after all, this is what the first love is about. It marks you and reshapes you and doesn't let you forget about yearning that feels risky, and the courage it takes to choose it anyway. I don't think that love stories begin with something certain; they begin with passages. And once you cross that bridge, there's no going back. But, please, when you fall, fall carefully. It might break you forever or fix you eternally.
