Two teenagers battling their inner demons fall in love for the first time in this âheartfelt and gritty debutâ (Booklist).
When Marion Taylor, the shy bookworm, meets sexy soccer captain Kurt Medford at a party, what seems like a sure thing quickly turns into a total mess. One moment theyâre alone in the middle of a lake, igniting sparks of electricity. The next, theyâre on dry land, pretending theyâve never met. But rather than the end, that night is the beginning of something real, terrifying, and completely unforgettable for them both.
As Marion and Kurt struggle to build a relationship from the fractured pieces of their pasts, every kiss they share uncovers memories both would rather keep buried. Marion desperately wants to trust Kurt and share the one secret sheâs never told anyoneâbut some truths arenât meant to be spoken out loud. Kurt is also still haunted by his motherâs death, by the people he hurt, and by the mistakes he can never take back.
Explosive together and hollow apart, Marion and Kurt seem totally wrong for each otherâbut could they turn out to be more right than they ever thought possible?
