Book overview

A YA CHRISTIAN ROMANCE

Five friends. One band. One final year before everything changes.
Senior year was supposed to be about making memories before graduation pulled them in different directions. Instead, Kennedy is haunted by the tragedy that tore her family apart, her twin brother is hiding a life-changing secret, and one friend's betrayal threatens to shatter their entire circle. As each of them wrestles with questions about love, forgiveness, and Faith, the future they've imagined together begins to look very different.

But Kennedy has Jasper.

They've been best friends for years, and somewhere along the way, friendship became something more. Jasper is everything Kennedy isn't-outgoing where she's guarded, optimistic where she's cynical, and determined to find joy even when life gives him every reason not to. The closer they grow, the more Kennedy wonders if their connection is a gift from God. But there's a problem.

Jasper wants to save their first kiss for marriage.

It seemed like a simple promise when they made it. But the battle against temptation, insecurity, betrayal, and fear throws constant obstacles in their way. Jasper and Kennedy must learn that loving someone doesn't mean fixing them, and that sometimes faith takes time to grow.

DISCLAIMER: This is a clean, no-contact Christian romance, meaning the main couple is waiting to share their first kiss on their wedding day. It was written for readers 14+ or grades 9-12.
