Book overview
Sophomore year was supposed to be simple. It's not.
Amber's dating the hot scene girl from the bookstore, but their relationship feels more like performance than connection. Her ex-girlfriend Ashley is trying to move on while dealing with her increasingly dangerous father. And Amber's caught between the girl she's with and the girl she never really let go.
When everything explodes-a tragic accident, a violent breaking point, and Ashley moving into Amber's house-the careful distance they've maintained shatters. Now they're navigating the impossible space between "we broke up" and "I never stopped loving you."
Sometimes the hardest year is the one that teaches you what really matters: about love, family, and finally coming home.
A raw, honest story about messy relationships, found family, and the year that breaks you open.
